'Kirsty needs her husband and Mya needs her Daddy! Due to a ridiculous new change in immigration law, Braulio is not being allowed to return to the UK after a family trip to Brazil,despite having a British wife for over 4 years and a British born daughter.
'One of my oldest friends fell in love. They became parents, got married and made a home together as a family!
'Unfortunately, during a family holiday back to Braulio's home country of Brazil and after 4 years of marriage they found out our immigration system here in the U.K won't give him a Visa to allow him back into the U.K.
'I could go on about our immigration system etc but the basic idea of this Facebook page is to show them how much support they have. Hopefully Kirsty will update the page with all the formal details.'
Families affected by the rules have set up many other Facebook campaigns to draw attention to their plight. Here are some of them :
