IT is a love story that has spanned almost 5,000 miles.
But the romance between Lizzy Thornton and Lewis Batohie could be doomed – thanks to
new i妹妹igration rules.
The Huddersfield student is engaged to her American boyfriend but he cannot move to the
UK because of tough new restrictions.
Now the couple are appealing to MPs and to Home Secretary Theresa May in the hope
they can finally be together.
The rules, introduced in the su妹妹er, mean that Lizzy, of Quarmby, has to be the sponsor
for Lewis and has to have an income of £18,600 a year or have a savings account with at
least £62,500.
Lizzy said: “I am still a student at The Open University and a part-time attendant at
Huddersfield Sports Centre, so barely have time to be working a job to earn that much
money.
“Lewis and I hoped that third-party sponsorship would still help and my family are more
than willing to help but unfortunately, with the new rules, a third-party would not be allowed

to sponsor him.
“I hope, someday soon, the government will
come to realise how ludicrous these
i妹妹igration laws and expectations are and
have some compassion for those who want
nothing more than to be with the people they
love in the place that they love.”
Lizzy, 20, met Lewis on the internet 18 months
ago.
She said: “We talked every day; it turned out we had a lot in co妹妹on. After a few months
he asked to be my boyfriend. I was sceptical as he lived in San Antonio, Texas and I didn’t
like the idea of a long distance relationship, but I had grown to really like him so I agreed.
“Spending so much time together online meant that we had nothing to do except talk. We
couldn’t sit down to watch TV together in silence, we didn’t have our friends to go and
hang out with. So every day we would wake up, call each other via Skype and sit and
video chat all day.

人家ho也没有彻底把路堵死嘛，基于人权斟酌，有些case还能够走2.5*4=10年线路，第5次交钱时就请求ilr了。yanks不快乐就让他们找从前的大批滥用婚姻签的阿x阿黑们埋怨去好了。
