Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will open a help-line for individuals to use to check on the progress of their applications for visas for people coming to the UK from Ukraine; and if she will make a statement.

UKVI already have a dedicated Ukraine helpline in place to support enquiries for those applying under the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine scheme.

The helpline can provide information on eligibility and the application process, and in cases of concern can escalate to teams who can look at the full case history and establish any issues.

We are currently reviewing the options and feasibility around offering a status checking option, these considerations are currently ongoing.
