The woman at the centre of the controversy later demanded ‘accountability and change’ in the attitude of officials in charge of visas. She also confirmed via another tweet that she was indeed able to attend her father’s cremation.

I can only assume my husband and I are one of numerous people bullied and threatened by officials in charge of visas. It is time for accountability and CHANGE. It is hard to believe the man that caused me more emotional and mental trauma than I’ve ever experienced is still
