Donna started to suffer from depression last April when her Egyptian
boyfriend – Zaki’s dad, Mohamed Nasr – was not allowed to come and live
in the UK because of Visa problems.
The angry friend yesterday
said the tragedy should have been prevented. The pal, who did not want
to be named, claimed: “It could have been avoided. It was waiting to
happen because she has been let down, not by her family – they were the
most supportive family – but by doctors and the NHS.

Spoke to my excellent MP Andy Slaughter today who told me @ukhomeoffice has "no record" of my case. 2.5 weeks since I've seen my baby son.
A broken system forced me to take a risk which, as a new mother of a sick child, I should not have had to take. Feels forced to me.

Chagossians: Wikileaks cables not admissible in court.
http://ukhumanrightsblog.com/2013/04/28/chagossians-wikileaks-cables-not-admissible-in-court/
I have posted on this saga before, which started with the Chagossians’ eviction from their islands in the Indian Ocean in the late 1960s and early 1970s, here, here, and, in Strasbourg, here. After a judgment from the courts in 2000, the FCO accepted that the original law underlying their departure was unlawful, and agreed to investigate their possible resettlement on some of their islands.

Surinder Singh and "confused" #UKBA caseworkers.
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/instructions_given_to_caseworker
Dear UK Border Agency,
I would like to know what instructions are given to caseworkers regarding applications made according to the Surinder Singh ruling.
Specifically to the EEA sponsor being a UK national, and after having exercised treaty rights by working in a member state, then returning to live in the UK with the spouse (Non EEA national) and not exercising treaty rights in the UK.
To my understanding caseworkers received a notification of an amendment to Regulation 9 of the EEA Regulations on the 20th May 2010, which stated that the UK national who is the EEA sponsor has only to show evidence of exercising a treaty right before returning to the UK and does not need to show evidence of exercising treaty rights in the UK.
Please confirm that this information is correct as the caseworkers at the UK Border Agency that I have had correspondence with do not appear to have knowledge of this ruling, although the Immigration Inquiery Bureau do seem to be fully aware of this ruling themselves.
