Judge gives Bangladeshi student persission to stay in the UK because he loves cricket

Mr Munawar, who lives in Limehouse, east London, told the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber he should be granted a new visa because he had partially completed his training and had established a social life in Britain.

Judge Susan V Pitt said that Mr Munawar had shown he played cricket at weekends, attends mosque regularly and has “formed friendships with fellow students and work colleagues”.

The judge ruled the Home Office’s refusal of a visa “amounted to a disproportionate interference with private life that deserved respect”.
She did not find that he had established the stronger category of “family life” with his aunt and cousins who also live in London, but ruled that “private life” was enough to win his appeal.

So it's clearly more than "because he loves cricket".

Thanks for the that. Never trust a Mail headline.

"Mr Munawar now hopes to get a job with an accountancy firm "

The guy is qualified and wants to work here. Surely these are the kind of people we want in the UK anyway?

Especially when it has a hell of a spelling mistake.

Not when there's 2.5m unemployed.

How many are trained fresh out of university accountants though? Just because there is a lot of unemployment does not mean the unemployed have the right skills

And what is your problem with that?
