From Morning Report, 7:51 am on 19 April 2018

A couple who married in 2016 are yet to spend more than three months together in the same country, after immigration officials declined their visas four times. Inamul Haque is Indian and met his New Zealand wife, Sofia Ali Malik, online in September 2015. Three months later, he applied for a culturally-arranged marriage visitors visa. As Sophia Duckor-Jones reports, it was the first of four failed attempts over two years.
