Homes for Ukraine hosts protest over Home Office visa delays

MPs presented with dossier of 986 cases where visas have been applied for but not yet granted

Almost 1,000 Ukrainian families who applied for visas under the UK government's Homes for Ukraine scheme are still waiting for the applications to be processed more than a month after submitting them.

One would-be host, Lauren Corbishley, who has founded a protest group about the delays, said the failure to issue visas to some of those who applied at the beginning of the scheme was torture" for the families. She called on the government to launch a public inquiry into what has gone wrong.
