Judge criticises errors in Haywards Heath dad deportation case.

 A judge said she was “concerned” about the number of errors made by the Home Office who are trying to deport a father-of-three.

Australian-born Phil Sommerville, 46, attended a court hearing to appeal the decision to send him back to Australia yesterday (FRI) but the tribunal was adjourned as the Home Office did not have the necessary documentation.

    1. There have been a lot of those I'm afraid! Some of the couples in that situation are still divided, some have moved to the USA, some are seeking a resolution through European free movement, some have been reunited by ultimately meeting the income requirement. It's a real mixed bag. :) That said, many people have resolved their situation after fighting for it.
