The UK Visas and Immigration Office has been an embarrassment to the nation for decades under Labour and Conservative (incl. Lib coalition) governments.
@MarinaPurkiss Given who you are and your relationship with the UK, but the Home Office (UKVI, Passport Office etc.) don't look at it that way because they ignore the facts in front of their face. If you want to know more about how BAD the UK Home Office treats people just ask. I have a story..
@MarinaPurkiss you could apply to the EUSS Settlement Scheme as an Italian citizen. Your EUSS application would be late (which is another problem) but "eventually" would receive a certificate of application from the UKVI to start your settled status application. Of course both are RIDICULOUS /2

Things at @ukhomeoffice aren’t quite so relaxed today. The stark contrast isn’t lost on us. We’re here because however welcoming this scheme is by comparison - it’s far from great. Many who hoped to be part of the Home for Ukraine scheme have given up and gone home...
I respect if visas were delayed due to Ukraine issue. It is so frustrating to see everyone applied in May are getting their visas and people who applied by march/ early April are still waiting. #ukvi is unethical and unprofessional in handling backlogs. #UKVISADELAY@ukhomeoffice
@BritainShame@homeoffice_ukvi@BorisJohnson@pritipatel@GOVUK@ukhomeoffice Thank you and aim truly sorry you are going through the same thing. I'm part of a group on Facebook called UK Spouse Visas, there are hundreds of people on there in the same boat. UKVI do as they please, they don't even have to answer us, they are a law unto themselves.
