A FAMILY seeking asylum in Bury will remain in Britain for the time being.
The Aftab family, who were due to be deported on Monday, have lodged an application with the Home Office to have their case reviewed.
Their bid for asylum was turned down in November last year, but no appeal was made.
The family, of East Street, say they were incorrectly advised on the funding protocol by solicitors, and that they have been denied an opportunity to challenge the decision.
Rabia Aftab (18) said: "At the moment there is nothing we can do but wait. We are all very stressed, because anything could happen at any time."
