The UI sponsored this individual into this country.  They were her
trusted point of contact.  They screwed her, and should be stepping
forward to make amends now, but instead are playing a game of
bureaucratic "CYA."

I'm going to have to disagree.  A orchard worker is pretty expendable
(i.e., "easily replaceable" for those who will predictably choose to
be outraged by an honest vocabulary). .  This researcher isn't.

The only blame is the enforcers of these chickenshit rules who don't
realize that ALL rules are made to be broken in the right
circumstance.  But immigration work seems to attract rule Nazis.

I'm sorry, Katarzyna Dziewanowska.
