The Prime Minister has been urged to intervene to ensure that Mercy Baguma's son can stay in Glasgow.
The Ugandan mum was found dead at her flat in Govan on August 22 with one-year-old Adriel beside her, having been alone for unknown length of time.
Mercy's death sparked outrage across the country after it was reported that she had been denied leave to remain and been barred from working.
In her final months, Mercy had relied on the help local charities and friends to feed her family until she was able to work again.
Baby Adriel is now being looked after by his father Eric who is also seeking asylum in Scotland.
David Linden MP asked Boris Johnston to step in and arrange an urgent meeting with the Home Secretary to discuss the case and ensure Adriel has a stable future in his place of birth.
SNP MP David Linden said: "The tragic case of Mercy Baguma, who was found dead in her flat in Glasgow recently with her starving one-year-old son Adriel lying next to her, has shone a light on the UK's callous asylum policies that have pushed countless people into further hardship.
"Adriel has been through more than any one-year-old should ever have to, yet his future hangs in limbo while the Home Office prolongs his father’s asylum application.
"I am grateful to the Prime Minister for agreeing to intervene on my constituent’s behalf. Rather than dragging on their worries, the Home Office must resolve the case and ensure that Adriel and his Dad can get on with rebuilding their lives in Scotland without uncertainty."
