From Viscount Slim
Dear Maple
How kind of you to write and I share your views completely. The only thing I can say is that I think the ruling, though I am in the process of finding out, is that a Gurkha has to have spent 15 years in the Army before being considered for UK residency. I maybe completely wrong but I have sent your letter to the right quarters and asked for ruling and support.
This FCO and Home Office ruling 'he failed to demonstrate that he had strong ties to the UK' is absolute nonsense and cannot be substantiated. What stronger ties can you have than giving many good years of service to the Queen and Country .
Again thank you for writing.
Yours sincerely
Slim
