Mary Henry (Independent)

How can they possibly allow that to proceed? Do they have relations or friends with any such problems? I have had trouble already with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform concerning such people. I was trying to get a visitor's visa for a Russian woman of 80 to visit her daughter who is married here. She has a 40 year old son who is mentally incapacitated. After three attempts, the woman and her son failed to obtain a visa from the Department so they could not come here. Naturally, in Moscow, they had heard about the very fine treatment we have for 40 year olds who are mentally disabled and would want to stay here.
