People could not leave the country to apply for visas due to COVID-19.
However, they also can't leave the UK once the visa application has been made, as it makes it invalid.
The home office visa process normally takes 8 weeks, it has been delayed over 10 months for some.
People are supporting families with new babies which were born in lockdown 1.
Others are NHS workers extending a visa, but being turned away from work.
Not working for this long has an impact on people's mental health.
