Family continue battle for son’s British passport

A COUPLE denied a British passport for their son vowed yesterday to continue their fight after the High Court rejected their claim for a judicial review.

The Home Office refused Nazrah and Afham Ismail’s application for a passport for their British-born nine-year-old son, rejecting their claim he was “stateless” because he was automatically a Mauritian national through his mother.

The couple, who married in Britain in 2004 and have three children, paid £973 for the rejected application and face paying another £372 for their son’s case to be reconsidered, which Nazrah said her family was “not able to pay for.”
