Hi everyone, a friend is looking for a sponsor for a 26 year old girl called Maria, who is a Ukrainian currently in Poland. In fact, Maria does not need a bedroom, as she will stay with my friend.


However, the form requires sponsors to say they have a spare room (and I understand that the council checks these rooms - though whether they actually have the resources to do so I do not know). We would like to be her sponsor but we can't as it is obvious that our house has no spare bedroom.


Is anyone able to be Maria's sponsor? It is not a normal sponsorship request because Maria would not actually need to live with you.


Maria is very friendly, very fun, she likes jokes and is very open. Her English is not great but she is always finding ways to express herself anyway. She likes running, reading books, visiting new museums and making fun plans.


It would be so good if we could help her.

Thanks! Pm me if you can help or might know someone who can.

hi - I agree it's so important to be careful. I set this out quite badly!


In this instance it's our 26 yr old cleaner who wants to bring her best friend over to live with her. Our cleaner doesn't have a spare room so a sponsor application from her would fail. Nor do we have a spare room.


So her friend Maria needs a formal sponsor to get here, but clearly she would rather live with her best friend than with a stranger family. Especially as she speaks no English. I don't know if that arrangement constitutes immigration fraud or not, but it feels reasonable to me.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
