Are you in Ukraine or a neighbouring country – and need immigration advice on coming to the UK?
Are you Ukrainian and now in the UK – and having problems? Maybe BRP delays, accessing rights to benefits or education, or threatened with homelessness?
Are you a Homes For Ukraine or Family scheme host – having difficulties with the process?
Settled’s free, multilingual, trustworthy service is here to help!
We launched our new Ukraine service (in addition to our EUSS services) in March 2022. Yuliia Ismail leads the service – she was a solicitor and barrister in Ukraine, and now an accredited UK immigation adviser. She is supported by Ukrainian volunteers, and Settled’s wider team of migration lawyers. All are accredited by the UK Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC). We have developed good links with the UK Home Office, and can escalate complex or very delayed cases where appropriate.
* Initial contact for 1:1 advice/support is via email: [email protected] We can phone back internationally, if need be.
* Alternatively, we have a private Facebook group, in Ukrainian, in which people can ask and view more general questions.
* We also have extensive information on all three schemes in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.
We help with:
-
- Ukraine Family Scheme: reuniting people with their families already living in the UK
-
- Homes For Ukraine Scheme: UK hosts/sponsors – new applications and any problems, including relating to Unaccompanied Children.
-
- Ukraine Extension Scheme: for Ukrainians who were already in the UK on work, student or visitor visas when the latest war started in 2022.
We do not help with:
‘matching’ – ie finding Ukrainian families to host in your home, or finding a sponsor to stay with in the UK.
More government information on that is available here. Matching organisations approved by the UK government are Citizens UK (through USPUK), Refugees at Home, Reset, World Jewish Relief, Opora, Love Bristol, and St John of God Hospitaller Services.
I am so grateful to this country and to your organisation!
A million thousand times I will not get tired of repeating:
Thank You! Thank You for being in this world!Katya - Ukrainian service beneficiary, November 2022
An advisor of Settled Ukraine Advice took care of all the hassle with a visa application. She helped me to resolve this issue quickly, completely free of charge... I am very grateful to have discovered this wonderful service, when it was very much needed.
