'‘Callous’ immigration rules have left a family separated by thousands of miles because a woman’s health prevents her earning more than £18,600.

'Scott Henderson has not seen his son Alex, 11, for two years.

'He is prevented from rejoining his family in Lakenheath because his wife, Leighsa Henderson, is unable to meet the Government’s financial requirements.

'Leighsa, 42, said: “Alex really missing his dad. He’s old enough to realise how long things are going to be.

'“It’s difficult having your partner so far away when they could be there to support you.”
