End the forced separation of UK Citizens from their families
The Issue
In September 2011 our family was blessed with two weddings - our son married a lovely local girl and our daughter married her long time penpal from USA. We are a typical British Family living in rural Cornwall - we all work - we may not be rich but we are close knit and there for each other. Even though my daughter works full time at a local business - Theresa May's immigration income rule means that many families like ours are being kept apart because they don't earn enough - not because they are out of work or not being useful to society - but they are the working poor. Most people who know us did not know about these immigratoin rules where a wife is separated from her husband - I'm sure lots of you did not either. Despite the Government's scrapping of legal aid - we have represented ourselves at Court and won our case against UKBA on 24 September 2013 - but are still waiting for our visa. Please help us to help our daughter and others facing separation - just look at your significant other or somone you love and imagine how you would feel being torn apart - for years. Thank you.
