Started by Natalie ward 8 years, 5 months ago
Dr Luke Ong who could be thrown out of the country because he applied to extend his visa too late.
Dr Luke Long has spend almost 10 years training to become a doctor, spending £100,000 and has only 5 months left of training before he qualifies.
Britain has a shortage of GP's and will be recruiting doctors from abroad to cover the shortfall. Dr Luke Long applied for a renewal of his visa and had a appointment given but only after his visa expired there for making it look like he had trained illegally.

We allow terrorists and immigrants who have raped and killed to remain yet we are prepared to deport a needed doctor because of a late application for a visa.

He must be allowed to stay. Our idiotic civil servants will permit crooks and vagabonds to stay but object to this gentleman who will provide benefit to theU. K.
