The article discusses Mohamed Jama's heartbreaking experience after his wife, Ubah Abdi Mohamed, died shortly before her arrival in the UK, despite prior approval for her spouse visa. Jama paid significant fees, including an immigration health surcharge, but the Home Office denied his request for a refund following his wife's death. The Home Office’s policies indicate no refunds are allowed after visa fees are paid, even in tragic circumstances. Jama criticized this practice as cruel and lacking common sense, reflecting on his deep love and loss for his wife.
My wife was a very special person. There are no words to express the love between myself and my wife, Jama said. This policy of not refunding the money to pay for any NHS treatment when the person hasn't even entered the UK is very cruel.
We were so happy when the Home Office granted the visa on 9 June. But on 11 June, Ubah Abdi Mohamed died unexpectedly while still in India.
