Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when guidance will be available for people already in the UK who need to apply to the Ukraine Family Scheme as of 10 March 2022.
Answer
As set out in the Home Secretary’s statement to the House on 1 March, a fee free, bespoke Ukraine Family Scheme has been introduced. The route allows both immediate family (spouse, civil partner, durable partner, minor children) and extended family (parent, grandparent, adult children, grandchildren, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, in laws and their immediate family) to join qualifying family members in the UK. This route was launched on 4 March.
Applicants who made their application prior to the publication of the updated guidance on 9 March will not be required to re-submit their applications.
