A Ukrainian woman stuck in Calais with her family has warned they may be forced to return home if their UK visas are rejected. Tetiana Osadchuk, 26, is facing a five-day wait to discover the fate of her application to join father Vladmir, 54, who works in construction in Reading.
She fears authorities will block her, mother Lecia, 48, and brother Victor, 16, as her father has only lived in Britain for two years and has a pre-settled visa status. Ms Osadchuk says she was told obtaining UK visas would not be an issue after fleeing her hometown of Chernivtsi in western Ukraine.
"My mum doesn't want to go anywhere else", she said, "Her only foreign language is English. She will go back to Ukraine if she can't get in. At least there we can speak Russian and Ukrainian."
