In January, changes to UK visa policies enabled many Ukrainians, like Ivan Vitsyn and Olesia Aladko, to finally bring their children to safety in the UK. The couple initially faced challenges when prior rules barred them from acting as sponsors for their kids after they fled Ukraine due to the war. They struggled with scams and lengthy application processes until a charity assisted them in navigating the complex visa landscape, which left many families hopeful but still anxious about delays.
The dream was shattered to pieces, we didn't know what to do.
They were faced with scammers asking for thousands of pounds in exchange for their help.
The charity advised applying for a visa naming themselves as sponsors, despite the new rules.
Their application was left in limbo, with no decision.
