Granting compassionate leave is at the Home SecretaryÂ’s discretion. You are closely related to these children, the fact that you brought them up, will objectively point towards a close emotional bond. Again, it is worthwhile and probably not that expensive to take at least one appointment with an immigration solicitor, who will advise you on the merits of the case. For the mean time, is it not possible for your children to join financial and emotional forces, find themselves another place to share and leave. I really hope this works out for you all.
