David Summers and Maria Summers

application: The British government has said that Maria Summers needs to leave the country by Aug. 23 after twice denying her application for permanent residency, according to Hamilton Spectator. Summers first application was rejected after the government questioned whether her marriage to a British citizen was genuine and affectionate. Maria Summers husband, David, was recently diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery days before she was slated to return home to Canada. The British First-Tier Tribunal overturned that rejection, only to decline her application again on financial grounds. David Summers outlined his wife latest efforts in an email to the Canadian Press. "My wife sent an email to immigration asking for an extension to stay longer. Summers has requested an extension from the U.K. Border Agency and even argued her case in a letter to the Queen, but is currently slated to fly back to Canada on Aug. 23. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
