L/Cpl Isimeli Baleiwai be granted permission to remain the UK
The UK Border Agency say that L/Cpl Isimeli Baleiwai cannot stay in this country and yet throughout those 13 years he has paid his taxes, served Queen and country, has a British wife and two children that are British.
Foreign and Commonwealth soldiers can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after four years' service, and citizenship after five. L/Cpl Baleiwai served in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq twice and once in Afghanistan.
In 2011, his commanding officer said his performance was "of an exceptionally high standard". L/Cpl Baleiwai was rated "an excellent junior NCO [non commissioned officer]" who was "always leading from the front". "He is charismatic, selfless and well-liked," the officer said.
