Woman denied indefinite leave to remain in UK under Windrush scheme wins appeal

Home Office ordered to reconsider case of Jeanell Hippolyte, whose father and brother were granted right to remain

The case of a woman who was denied indefinite leave to remain in the UK even though her father and brothers were granted the status under the Windrush scheme must be reconsidered by the Home Office, the court of appeal has said.

Jeanell Hippolyte, a Saint Lucian national, originally came to the UK at the age of 17 in 2000, but left two years later to comply with immigration rules after her student visa expired.
