A couple with desperately-needed skills living in Australia face deportation, because their son is living with Down Syndrome.
Key PointsThe Indian couple work in highly-skilled sectors, and have lived here for seven years.Immigration Minister Andrew Giles is facing pressure to intervene to protect a family facing deportation because their child living with a disability is deemed a burden on the taxpayer.

But he feared the family will be given a separate bridging visa, stripping the couple of their right to work and Aaryan's ability to go to school, even if they are allowed to stay beyond the end of their current visa, which expires on 15 March.
