Galina Ryzhenko said despite fleeing Kyiv in February it had taken seven weeks for her mum Tanya to join her in South Yorkshire.

Ms Ryzhenko held a lone protest outside a Home Office building in Sheffield.

The Home Office said it had "launched one of the fastest and biggest visa schemes in UK history".

The software manager has lived and worked in South Yorkshire for five years and applied for her mother to join her soon after the war broke out.

After 38 days without news, Ms Ryzhenko mounted a protest with a placard outside the government office.

She said she was approached by Home Office staff.

"They were pretty sympathetic," she said.

"Another employee came to me and asked me for a location number and they were able to locate it and unblock it."

Her 70-year-old mother who lived in Kyiv has now arrived and is adjusting to life in the UK.
