Esther Kondu moved to the UK in 2022 with her husband and children.
She was to work as a health care worker, but the job did not materialise because her employer lost its visa sponsorship licence.
Couple told to leave UK after visas were revoked
After she and her family lost their original visas, they were told to pay an additional £2,755 (N5.9 million) for replacement visas.
Esther was given 60 days to find a new UK visa sponsor and to pay for the replacement visas.
She was only able to pay £551 (N117,000) for her own replacement visa, as the family could not afford the ones for her children and husband.
The family later paid the remaining visa fees late, but the UK Home Office rejected their payment.
Her husband, Osei, said:
"It's really been tough. It's been hell. We came in the country and within one year the sponsor's licence has been revoked, through no fault of our own, so we think the fee should have been waived."
Esther's husband applied to join the UK Army
Her husband, Osei, had applied to join the UK Army, but the process has been put on hold due to the visa issue.
Esther and her husband have been asked to return to Ghana with their children immediately.
Back in Ghana, Esther and her husband were teachers. They left their jobs to search for a better life.
According to the BBC, the couple is receiving help from Clement Mensah, an immigration lawyer handling the case for free.
Esther said she was shocked when the news of the revocation reached her.
She said:
"It was frightening, I didn't know what to do, I was shocked."
