The Romeike family, who left Germany in 2008 seeking asylum to home school their children, were granted indefinite deferred status to remain in the US (as long as they remain law-abiding), it was reported in March.

The Supreme Court had declined to hear their case. A spokesman for the home school network in the USA said: ‘This is an incredible victory that can only be credited to our Almighty God. We also want to thank those of who spoke up on this issue including that long ago White House petition.’

Home schooling is currently illegal in Germany. The Romeikes were initially given asylum after moving to the USA, but later had their asylum status revoked, as their inability to home school was not seen as persecution or violation of rights.
