'We feel absolutely robbed of our rights as human beings. James is missing out on this pregnancy, one that we were so thankful for after the tragedy of losing our first son in April. He does not get to be there when our child is born, and he will not be able to hold our baby until I arrive there, perhaps two months or more after the baby is born and we are well enough to travel. We are being cheated out of this experience, an experience which every married couple on earth has a right to, because we don't earn enough money.'

Run for my wife

On 15 February 2014, James Capon will run the streets of West Yorkshire in a bid to raise awareness of the negative impacts of the UK government’s new family migration policies.

Starting in Pontefract and taking in Featherstone, Normanton, Castleford and Knottingley, James will run 18 miles around five West Yorkshire towns to bring attention to the suffering caused to families as a consequence of the rules.

He hopes ‘run for my wife’ will inform others as to what British nationals with a non-EEA partner are being subjected to under the amended policies, and that this awareness raising will help to effect change.

The rules, which require British sponsors to have a minimum annual income of GBP 18,600 in order to bring their non-British partner to the UK, and even more for each non-British child, are resulting in the long-term, and sometime indefinite, division of many cross-border families.

The run for my wife movement is spreading quickly, with interest from other divided families across the UK in taking up individual runs in an effort to get the message out.

“I'd like for myself and all the people that are suffering at the hands of the UK Border Agency to have a voice. I'd like us to be heard, and I'd like us to be able to live freely with our wives, husbands and children regardless of what part of the world they come from”, said James.

James and Hannah's story :

Hannah and James

American Hannah and Yorkshireman James share their story.

'My husband, James, and I met on the social network "Instagram" in April 2012. Of course at the time, I did not know that he would be the person I would spend my life with. He simply "liked" one of my pictures, and I "followed" him, and in turn he followed me back. I had done this same thing with several other strangers on the site, thinking nothing of it.

'And then one day, he posted a picture of one of his toes which was bleeding after he had gone out for a run, and I asked him for some running advice, which he gave me, as well as encouragement in my newfound love for fitness. Soon we were commenting back and forth on each other’s pictures and then we became friends on Facebook, and eventually we exchanged phone numbers when he offered to send me a book about running, and that was when we started using our iPhone's to text and have video calls using FaceTime.

'We would text almost all day, from as soon as I woke up until he was going to bed over in the UK, and then before he went to bed he would call and we would talk for hours. A few months went by, and every day out relationship grew a little stronger. We never once ran out of things to talk about. We made each other laugh until we could hardly breathe anymore and it was so much fun learning things about each other’s cultures and personal habits and pet peeves.
