THE BROUGHTY Ferry woman at the centre of a visa wrangle has been invited to meet Border Agency officials to discuss her case.

Josie Pasane’s plight has provoked outrage in the community with 4000 people signing a petition demanding she be allowed to remain in the country with her mother and sister.

The Abertay University graduate will travel to Glasgow next Thursday to discuss her case.

The 25-year-old told The Courier last night she thought the meeting was a positive step.

“I feel like something is happening, that there has now been some movement,” she said. “They have heard about the petition and the support from the local MP, which is a positive sign.

“They have said the meeting is to review the case so they are not giving much away. It seems they are reviewing the case as they have heard about the campaign by the local community.

“I am remaining optimistic, but I don’t want to count my chickens before they have hatched.”

Dundee East MP Stewart Hosie, who personally delivered the petition to the Home Office in London, said, “I am delighted the campaign on behalf of Josie has secured an early review. I know how hard this period of uncertainty has been for her.”
