Gaining UK Entry for Ukrainian National via Homes for Ukraine

The Challenges Faced

In 2025, Ms K, a Ukrainian-born US citizen, faced hurdles applying under the Ukraine Family Scheme due to her lack of a Ukrainian passport and discrepancies in identity documents. Proving ordinary residence in Ukraine before 1 January 2022 was complicated, as she had returned to Ukraine only in November 2021 after 20 years in the US.

How Latitude Law Helped

Latitude Law, led by solicitor Sam Jubb, leveraged our deep UK immigration law expertise to address identity verification issues with comprehensive evidence of Ms K’s Ukrainian ties. We argued that her intent to retire in Ukraine established ordinary residence, supported by robust documentation. When the Ukraine Family Scheme closed, we swiftly adapted her application to the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, ensuring compliance with new criteria.

The Outcome

Ms K successfully gained UK entry under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, overcoming significant residency and identity obstacles. This case highlights Latitude Law’s adaptability and expertise in navigating complex UK immigration cases, delivering client-centric solutions for seamless visa success.
