Samuel Jarrett-Coker, 61, came from Sierra Leone in 1976, aged 13, on the diplomatic passport of his brother, who worked in the London embassy. Despite now having seven British grandchildren he feared being deported because, he says, the Home Office did not respond to his requests dating back to the 1980s to resolve his immigration status.
