The couple are stranded while the Government says it is deciding what to do with people who have approved New Zealand visas, but are unable to travel into the country. After marrying three years ago in India, the couple moved to Dubai, where George worked for the Emirates airline. She applied for a work visa for George in October, which was approved on March 11 this year. With an approved visa, he gave one month's notice from his job at the airline, but then the Covid-19 pandemic struck, and the borders all closed. The couple also wrote to Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway, who referred their letter to associate immigration minister Poto Williams.
