Anastasiia Drevynytska, 20, came to the UK on 17 December 2023 from her home in western Ukraine to join her mother, Svitlana, and father, Volodymur, who had already arrived after finding sponsors under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Drevynytska had searched for a sponsor so she could join them under the same scheme. A Ukrainian man offered to sort out the paperwork for her application if she paid him, allowing her to travel to the UK to join her parents. But when she arrived she found that the paperwork the man had given her was incorrect and that she had been scammed.
The Home Office granted her six months' temporary leave, which runs out on 19 June. She has received a letter from the Home Office asking her to return to Ukraine, although it is not government policy to forcibly return refugees to active war zones.
