My son and his wife had to fly back to the UK from the US in order to renew their visas to stay in the US. They had to fly down to London and pay for one night in an hotel, so that they could be interviewed. They then flew back to Glasgow, picked up my grandson, and flew back to the US where they have been living and working for the last 5 years.
Lunacy? Of course it is.
