has been refused. In his letter of 15th June to Your
Petitioner's solicitors, the Director said: "I regret
that under present circumstances, their application for
permission to remain here permanently cannot be given
consideration."
9.
While Your Petitioner is aware of and appreciates
the present circumstances and difficulties in which the
Colony has found itself due to the large influx of refugees,
it is respectfully submitted that Your Petitioner's
application should be considered on its own merits and
should not be dictated by "present circumstances".
Your Petitioner is given to understand that barring
exceptional circumstances, a wife is normally allowed to
remain in the Colony with her husband who is himself a
Hong Kong resident. It is therefore respectfully
suggested that it would be unjust and unfair to refuse
Your Petitioner's application on account of "present
circumstances". The well-being of a family of 4 is at
stake.
10.
Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that
she and her children be permitted to remain in Hong
Kong permanently.
AND Your Petitioner will ever
pray etc.
Dated the 28th day of June 1979.
