I suppose this is what Brexiters wanted:
Polish woman, 80, faces deportation from UK after mistakenly filling in form onlineElzbieta Olszewska, 80, had been living alone in her flat in Warsaw before arriving in the UK last September. Her only child, Michal Olszewski, 52, an aeronautical engineer who lives in Lincoln with his wife, had been travelling regularly to the Polish capital to support her.
Olszewski has been living in the UK since 2006, initially as a EU citizen. He subsequently became a British citizen and has dual Polish-UK nationality. As his mother has become increasingly frail he wanted her to move to the UK so he and his wife could care for her properly. There is a legal route under the settlement scheme for people in Olszewski’s situation to bring parents to the UK.
Olszewska arrived in the UK last September on a six-month visitor visa and shortly afterwards the application, containing all the correct information, was made for her to live permanently in Britain with her son and his wife.
Which was then promptly rejected. Well, not promptly, but after six months of waiting time.
The paper form of an application to stay must be requested from the Home Office which prints the person’s name on it and then sends it by email to the applicant, who must print it out, fill it in and post it back to the Home Office. The Home Office has said it is moving its immigration system online.
