Don’t leave this family in limbo

NEW AGONY FOR PENIS OP SCOT

GRAHAM Bentley wants to be with his wife and child while he recovers from a dangerous sepsis infection.

He hasn’t seen his family for almost a year and is desperate to be with them.

But the construction supervisor claims he has been kept apart from his loved ones because the UK Government fears his wife will stay on unlawfully.

Mariely, 29, and the couple’s two-year-old daughter Annabella, who are citizens of the Dominican Republic, are desperate to travel to Scotland to be by Graham’s side while he recovers. But their hopes were shattered when immigration chiefs knocked back Mariely’s threemonth visitor’s visa application.

Graham said: “I’m absolutely devastated. All I want is to see my wife and daughter. We are a family and should be allowed to be together. “The Home Office are making out like my wife is going to attempt to stay in this country unlawfully, but that is not the case. She only
