Petition Action

Create a Ukrainian ILR route & ensure time on Ukraine visa schemes count to ILR

Petition Details

Create a dedicated route to ILR for Ukrainian refugees and ensure that their time on Ukrainian visa schemes (Homes for Ukraine, Family and Extension) count towards obtaining Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Additional Information

Russia's invasion has lasted years. Many Ukrainians in the UK are working, studying and raising children here but may have temporary visas and must renew them. Some who claimed asylum worry about extending their Ukraine leave. A dedicated ILR route could give security, reduce casework for the Home Office and could allow people to return to rebuild Ukraine when it is safe.
