All the contact details are for the respective people as MPs, not as ministers and would take you to their constituency or parliamentary offices, not their ministerial offices. And the general norm is for correspondence (either emails or letters) from non-constituents (or non-residents of the specific constituency that they represent) to either not be responded to or to direct them to contact the government department directly.vinny wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 9:15 amTry

There is no direct way to get authoritative advice from the Home Office regarding immigration advice.timarkovich wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 8:36 amIs it possible to contact anyone in UKVI to find out if there is any flexibility?
Yes, indeed. It’s difficult.secret.simon wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 11:27 amThere is a general immigration helpline, but it is outsourced (i.e. the people handling the calls are not Home Office employees and therefore may not have in depth knowledge of Home Office procedures) and in any case, the Home Office is not bound by incorrectly given advice, whether in writing or over the phone.
Even if you own a house in the UK, if it is faster to move the family to Canada, that may be an option to look at. You can then look at moving them from Canada to the UK at some time in the future.timarkovich wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 12:41 pmWe own a home in the UK, so Canada is not an option at this point
Your children apply for visas from Russia too. Or your children can apply from Canada I assume, as they have Canadian citizenship?timarkovich wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 7:27 amBut can't get into UK because my wife has to apply from Russia.

For a UK visa, your wife has to apply from a country where she has residence rights.timarkovich wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 7:27 amBut can't get into UK because my wife has to apply from Russia.
