A mum fears that her family could be torn apart due to the rules surrounding her husband’s residency in the UK.
Katie Du-Toit from East Yorkshire has been married to her husband Jacobus for the past 13 years, and has two children with him, Esme, ten, and Janika, six.
Hull Live reports Mrs Du-Toit met her husband, who is from South Africa, in Parkers nightclub in Beverley back in 2005 and it was "love at first sight" for them both, as they married in the same year.
However, despite being married and having children together, the rules surrounding Mr Du-Toit’s immigration status mean that the couple have paid out thousands over the years in visas for him to stay in the country.

"We need to pay out for another visa next year and don’t know where we are going to find the money, other than trying to put it all on a credit card.
"Saving up thousands is really difficult with the girls to raise, a mortgage to pay and bills on top – I do work but I’m on a low wage, so we have to depend heavily on Jacobus’ wage.
