Saturday … end of a hard week

This week  has been up and down.  My daughter now has a work permit for Brazil. There were some initial sad implications, but overall it was welcome; now my daughter will have opportunities to make positive choices in her life.

Like come home for Christmas.  Of course ‘M’ can within reason come and go across English borders without fear. However, her boyfriend who is Brazilian cannot. Although legally he does not need a visa to visit the Uk for less than six months it has proved on previous visits to be a prudent requirement.  ‘Unwelcome’ visitors have been turned back to Brazil at UK Border Control. His application for previous visits have been accepted with no problems.

Sadly, this time since the new immigration laws and for reasons best known to the UK Border Agency his requests have been refused.  It would appear ‘they’ think he will not return…
