Disabled man and Armenian wife reunited
Feb 23 2007
A DISABLED man and his Armenian carer wife – who faced an uncertain
future separated by thousands of miles – have finally been reunited.
Keith Ackrill, 61, was reunited with wife Svetlana, 50, at Heathrow
Airport on Friday after she returned from Armenia having been granted
a spouse’s visa by the Home Office last week.
The couple are now back together in their St Chad’s Road home in
Maidenhead having endured a turbulent time since January, when
Svetlana returned to Armenia to apply for the visa.
Asked how it felt to be back together Keith – who is paralysed down
one side – told the Express: "Fantastic – it’s how it should have
been in the first place."
He said Svetlana’s return was the end of an ordeal and recalling
picking her up from the airport, he commented: "She looked lovely."
