My daughter was born and raised in Kuwait. I am a Pakistani. But recently when I applied for a visit visa for her, the Immigration Department rejected the application saying she had not been cleared by Kuwait’s security apparatus. Whom can I approach?

Answer: You can approach the Ministry of Interior and request them to clear your application although nothing is likely to happen. Rejection of visit visa applications is very common these days for girls over 15 years of some nationalities. Maybe, after time you can apply again and try your luck.
