Family of chess prodigy given visa to stay in UK

Nine-year-old Shreyas is a chess prodigy representing England internationally.

Shreyas' father was told to return to India after his visa expires in September if he failed to earn more than £120,000 a year.

After a media campaign which caught the attention of the Home Secretary himself Sajid Javid, the family has now been allowed to stay on a different visa.
