According to Austino, the man and his wife relocated to the UK with their two children, and the man came with a study visa.
After studying, the man started working in a warehouse while his wife was doing a care job in the UK.
As his visa neared expiration, the man and his wife tried to get a Certificate of Sponsorship (Cos), all to no avail.
