"I have been living separated from Jap Sahib for seven years now. I am working as a chef in Christchurch. Jap Sahib is back in India, with his grandmother. It pains me that I have missed out on seeing him grow up for the past seven years. After I first came to NZ in 2014, Jap Sahib was turned down for multiple visas because of the discriminatory health requirements. In 2016, Immigration said that either I or my husband at the time had to go back to our country and take care of Jap Sahib there.
