THE government could face legal action over “inordinate and unreasonable” visa delays for Ukrainian refugees.

Those in Britain who have signed up to sponsor Ukrainian families are preparing to launch a class-action lawsuit on behalf of refugees left waiting weeks to come to Britain, it was revealed today.

They say that there are at least 800 Ukrainians still waiting for visas after applying within the first two weeks of the Home for Ukraine scheme opening in March, leaving people at risk.
