Mr Dunham told BBC Radio Northampton on Tuesday that he and his wife pair could possibly be granted bail by a court 24 hours after arrival, but without being able to take any money into the US they would not be able to afford to live.

It heard they had lost their jobs, home and assets in the US and were declared bankrupt in the UK, causing their mental and physical health to suffer "severely".
The couple worked in the US between 1999 and 2009.
