The Home Office reversed their decision and my grandmother is officially allowed to stay. Thank you to the 246 people who signed this to keep my family together. Keep watching the news for updates on how we handle the next phase of our residency application.

I launch this petition, in aid for the support of our fellow community, that our government and courts failed to give. The classical immigration topic has been caught up in our ears and minds for far too long now, I agree I too am fed up. Everyday someone gets deported back to the country that they came from.
However, I really am counting on you, whether you think that this is not any different too the other cases you hear about or not, isn't what I am bothered about. I am bothered about your humanity to support me and my family.
My grandma came from India to the UK nearly 14 years ago to support my disabled mother who was diagnosed, with Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus back in 2002, when I was 3 years old, soon after my grandma came to the country. I am disheartened to say that, after 14 years of a lot of fighting within the courts, the Home Office, have decided it is time for her to go back. They say they can offer us other help if my Grandma goes back, but is that help really going to be the same?
My Grandma is a second mother to me and my sisters, and it is cruel to separate children from their mothers. Put yourself in our position, how would you like or even feel to have someone you love or someone your close to taken away from you? As cruel as it sounds, it's hard to picture yourself in a position you do not want to be in, so then why let someone else easily go through it? She takes the role of a carer in our household; where she takes my younger siblings to school, assists with meals and does the cleaning. She is even involved in all the decisions made in the household equally, with my parents. Alongside, all of the other support she provides the family, for example the emotional support and the security. Her leaving, therefore, would cause a emotional impact on us sisters that is quite long lasting. It would break our hearts to know she cannot live with us no more. Yes, there are other means of communications through the modern technology we now live in, but that still would not cover the distance between us and our grandma.
Please support us, with just a sign. And forward on to your contacts too.Thank you.

The Home Office thinks they can quietly send my grandmother away while we struggle to care for my mother. We need to force this into the public eye so they can no longer ignore the human cost of their policies. Email your local Member of Parliament today and demand they intervene in this case.

The momentum is real and it shows that our community refuses to stay silent while my grandmother is forced away from our family. Tell three friends about our fight right now and email your local representative to demand they intervene.

I am in favour of this Important petition as my Grandma also came from India in the late 70s when my mother passed away and my father required her support to help raise us, 6 children. I wish you all the luck.
I wholeheartedly support this petition. This is a mother supporting her daughter and grandchildren with a level of support that can not be given by any agency! This is a disgrace and goes against the sanctity of family cohesion, community support and humanity.
Auntie should be allowed to stay. She is a much loved and loving lady totally devoted to helping and supporting her family in a way that is irreplaceable to them all. The effects of this awful decision would be devastating. The Home Office need to rethink and bear in mind this is a human issue and not a statistical one.
This grandmother is here to support her family in thier time of need. She is not asking for handouts, shes not even asking For her own home. If anything she is supporting the economy by helping where she can so the father can work
This Grandma is a very special lady. She has cared for my disabled cousin not as a mother in law but as a mother, actually more than any mother could for there own child. She has been a pillar of strength for the whole family. These young girls do not deserve to be separated from their grandmother.
I strongly believe the Grandmother should not be separated from her granddaughters and their disabled mother.

I think it is grossly cruel to separate a family. Laveena's grandmother is clearly the rock in the families stability. Children bought up in a stable home, grow up secure individuals enabling them to contribute to society
