Nine months after the chaotic evacuation of thousands of Afghans to the UK refugees have told Sky News of their distress that their long term applications to stay here have still not been processed.Some had British passports but those who didn't were given six-month visas and told they would get indefinite leave to remain .
"However, due to the volume of applications and appointments, we've been late contacting the applicant - which was completely out of his control."'False promises' from the Home Office Fahim also told us the boy - who arrived nine months ago - hasn't yet been to school because a place hasn't been found for him.
His wife Gul, 38, and six of their children were evacuated from Afghanistan last summer during Operation Pitting. Azarulla said:"When they arrived my family were given a six-month visa. My child is disabled with special needs so they came to join me here. We desperately need help."We keep asking everyone who can help us and different organisations if they can support us.
Gul said:"We had a difficult life in Afghanistan because I was looking after my disabled child. Since I came here I'm happy my child is receiving the medical care he needs and I'm with my husband.Annette Elder says people who are in limbo can't find accommodation or work
