Tiffany Ellis, 28, has indefinite leave to remain in the UK, where she has lived since the age of eight. She gave birth to Xien Ellis on 30 April last year in Jamaica and has been trying to return to the UK ever since.

They add that the baby&#8217;s life can continue as it is now in Jamaica with financial support from his mother in the UK. The Home Office refused Xien&#8217;s visa application on 22 December when he was almost eight months old.
