The child’s parents, who are both in the UK legally, are having “sleepless nights” after officials told them she would need to leave the UK and re-apply for a visa from abroad after they took her out of the country earlier this year.
A father is urging the UK Home Office to show flexibility regarding visa rules after being informed that his British-born baby, Massah, faces removal from the country. Massah, who is 13 months old, was born in the Midlands to parents legally residing in the UK since 2021. The father is pursuing a PhD from Jordan, and the mother is his dependent.
The family recently received a letter from the Home Office stating that their daughter must “immediately leave the UK” and re-apply for a visa from abroad due to the family taking a holiday in January. The letter emphasized the need to maintain the integrity of immigration laws over the potential impact on the family. The father is appealing to the authorities to consider the family’s unique situation and allow their daughter to remain in the UK.
