A Windrush widow who was wrongly told she would be deported after her husband’s death can remain in Britain after a years-long battle with the Home Office.
Maxine Scayle, 70, was born in Jamaica but moved to the UK in 1965, aged 14, and went on to marry her British husband Melvin Harriott in February 2010. He had arrived in the UK in the 1950s as part of the Windrush generation of Caribbean immigrants who moved to Britain between 1948 and 1973.
