Home Office harassment of British citizen and his wife!

BritCits supporter Mark and his wife received the following correspondence from Home Office contractor Capita...


... despite the Home Office withdrawing from their appeal and therefore acknowledging their right to a family life!





Mark and his wife feel intimidated, stalked and harassed by the Home Office and their contractors. 

Despite the fact that the Home Office has withdrawn their appeal against this couple's right to be in the UK, they simply will not leave them alone.

Mark says :
'This is a week after letters were sent by the MP and our solicitor complaining about the delays after the HO withdrew from the appeal.
'Yesterday they sent a threatening text to my wife's mobile.
'This morning we get a threatening letter.
'This afternoon we get a threatening phone call to our home phone line.'


The Home Office withdrew the appeal. Now they are harassing Mark and his wife.

Mark says :
'I hope all our nightmares will be over soon and we can then recover from the trauma, heart ache and uncalled for stress with our families and spouses in a just and fair land.'

Needless to say this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Look at the missive that was addressed to someone who left the UK four years ago :

(Unfortunately the Home Office contractors picked the wrong householder to send this too).

Mark & Mercy

“I don’t earn £18,600 but I own two properties outright. Yet I don’t qualify to have my wife with me.”

Mark is a British citizen. He was born in Surrey, is from Liverpool and was raised in South Africa.

Although retired now, Mark vividly remembers his days in the Royal Air Force, when he risked his life for British citizens.

Mercy, Mark’s wife is a citizen of Nigeria. She similarly has a fairly diverse background. She grew up in Sierra Leone, left it because of the civil war and moved to Dakar in Senegal. Through her work in Senegal, Mercy gained the experience necessary to become a fashion designer. Mercy also speaks six languages.

Mark and Mercy met online through friends in 2011. They stayed in touch and April 2013 saw them getting married in a beautiful ceremony in Senegal.


Mark does not earn £18,600. Not many pensioners do.

Mark does however own two properties outright in Liverpool, which the Home Office does not consider in assessing Mark’s financial position for the sponsorship of his wife. Properties which mean Mark himself has no recourse to public funds.
