UK soldier wins battle for Kenyan daughter

A British soldier has won his fight to get his teenage daughter a UK visa so she can leave Kenya and live with him and his family in Scotland. Lance corporal Denis Omondi, who is stationed at Fort George, has uncontested custody of 14-year-old Ann. BBC News reports that he applied for an entry clearance application for her in November, but it was rejected by the Home Office. After Ann's case was raised at Westminster, Omondi has been told her application now meets the rules. Omondi, who is not in a relationship with Ann's mother, is a British citizen who is originally from Kenya and has served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Cyprus.
