Jane Finley wept in relief and frustration over the two women who were sisters-in-law, their daughters, and their two dogs who had fled Kyiv when she finally got home for her family in Ukraine through British customs and in her car, ready to take her. them to her home in Cornwall. Given what the Ukrainian family had gone through, Jane thought the process was very difficult.
“It almost seemed to me on purpose that the government created a system they could brag about but it didn’t actually work,” Jane says. It’s not a scheme, in my opinion.”
Jane signed up to be a sponsor on March 14 and, like many other people in the UK who wanted to help Ukraine, reached out to a family of four in Kyiv who were afraid of being bombed and seeking refuge via Facebook.
The scheme’s visa regime was not activated for four days, and all forms were written in English. It took until March 23 to take them to Ukraine.
Jаne says, “We got the visa form an hour after it was posted, and it took us, English speakers with Mаsters degrees, 11 hours of consistent time online to fill out the forms.”
“Despite her mother’s written permission, the Home Office requested that the other give written permission for those under 18 to travel.” Her father is a veteran. They gave proof that the 30-year-old resides in Ukraine, but she still lives at home with her parents, is there any 30-year-old Briton, how are you going to prove that? The PDF forms for dogs were 11 bags long. was inside. There was a long list of things, some of which were cut and modified according to a different scheme and were not even relevant to the order.”
Jane is deeply horrified by the presence of three human smugglers, as well as the prospect of spending the rest of their lives in a refugee camp. Jane and his friend, Pete Jones, decided that traveling to Berlin and driving to Krakow would be the best way to reassure the family.
He told Yan that the visas would arrive in five days, so it seemed possible to pick up the hustle and drive them across Europe, where the family couldn’t get around with their dogs. She was then informed that one of the family’s sports had expired during the lockdown, something they were afraid to notice because they had not tried to take over the country yet, when they were being bombed.
The women were given their biometrics, and asked to get their visas at the visa application center in Berlin, which Jane picked while filling out the Home Office visa forms, thinking it would be best to suddenly get them out of trouble at the Polish border. and offer some relief not only to them but also to other Ukrainians passing through the crowded and crowded checkpoint who were in dire need of assistance.
“The scheme for UK homes for Ukraine was never really valid in Berlin,” says Jan. However, she and behold were very fortunate to be a refugee who was processed and accepted by Germany, and now she is helping other refugees convince the Visa office to take the biometrics test. The testing center preferred a copy of Jаne’s passport over a digital copy, so they went back to the hotel to have her photographed before planning a working dog treat. There will be more forms, PDFs and printing in the future.
Jаne drove his colleagues to Hаnover for the night before continuing to Cálаis, where they hoped visas would be approved soon.
“However, I discovered that those who filed on March 18 and 19 were involved in a technical glitch.” I called the Home Office helpline, they could take 2-3 weeks longer, and it was fine. “
Jane was able to get information from MP Munira Wilson about their visa status. She would suddenly feel “alone and in utter trouble” if she hadn’t come to their rescue.
Despite this help, they were stranded in Claes for five days, unsure of where their visas went. They were told through a magazine listing about Visa’s “pop-up” office in Calais, which they found despite some confusing information, and where the employee was “incredibly helpful”.
At this point, a master and Yan’s brother arrived to help, and at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 31, someone shouted that visas had arrived.
They kept asking ‘Is this it?’ Buck is in the fire. “Did we make it?” I was staying until we got to the plane to confirm.”
Making their way to Cornwall with Jain after passing through customs in the UK, the refugees began what they hoped would become a temporary new life while they were awake to end their lives in their home country. Jane began the operation on the 14th of March, and it was only 17 days before the integrity of the UK was restored.
“I am so shocked by the government here, but I have never been so proud of my people,” Jane said. Homes for Ukraine has become an organized scheme that says, “This will work for you,” Ukraine has terribly nurtured to this country. The current process is unnecessarily complex and unnecessarily complex, so visa requirements for refugees should be eliminated.
“During this process, we needed many angels to help us.” They will be stuck outside the UK for months if they don’t get this help, and they are still there.”
Jane hopes that this will not prevent others from applying, will the government seek to change its system, and notes that some visas are paradoxically processed more quickly. Despite this, she wonders why, in the midst of this horrific war, we are asking a group of Ukrainian women for visas and countless printed forms, and why it is so difficult to help just one falsely.
“I am fortunate and fortunate in my position to be able to dedicate the time to do this and have the financial means to do so.” Nothing compares to the suffering of the people of Ukraine, and I am not complaining about my personal experience. I do not criticize the British people. It’s just that this process, our government’s process, is difficult.
“I cannot express how happy I am to be able to offer support and to suddenly learn of this who has fled Kyiv, and I would encourage anyone who can help quickly to do so, but the road to the UK is very frustrating. It is full.”
