The British finally found some migrants they don’t want. If you’re an American contemplating moving to another country to escape the Apocalypse, Fuggeddaboudit! It’s already too late.
Couple who fell in love with Britain on holiday and moved from New York to Inverness to run a guest house are told they have just one month to leave after their permanent visa was turned down
•Couple Russell and Ellen Felber moved to Inverness from New York back in 2011
•They came on a three-year entrepreneur visa which was extended for two years
•Despite investing £400,000 in home they have been given month to leave UK
• Application for permanent residency was refused due to an employment issue
'When we applied for our two-year extension we were told we had to have two full-time employees for 12 months or one employee for two years, so we had one for two years and our extension was accepted,' Mr Felber said.
'Now they are saying we are supposed to have another two people for 12 months but we can't find that anywhere in our paperwork.
'It says so in the application now, but there is nothing in the papers we filled out, we fit all the criteria for that.
'It was such a huge shock to us both and my wife collapsed, she hasn't been able to cope.'
Solicitors told the Felbers they believe the deportation breaches their human rights and Inverness MP Drew Hendry has been lobbying the UK Home Office in their defence.
