When Simple Isn’t Simple: A Smooth Resolution to a Ukraine Permission Extension Application
The Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme was introduced to provide a straightforward route for Ukrainian nationals already in the United Kingdom. In theory, it should be one of the simpler immigration processes. However, as many applicants have recently learned, even the simplest applications can become unexpectedly complicated when technical issues arise on the Home Office side.
Client Encountering System Issues
A recent client approached us after encountering serious concerns with the online system. Although he was eligible to extend his permission, the Home Office’s digital platform was affected by delays, incorrect status updates and a lack of automated notifications. The system showed conflicting information that did not match his actual circumstances, leaving his uncertain about his legal position and worried about the impact on his everyday life in the UK.
The Risk of Self-Application
Many applicants assume this route is uncomplicated and choose to apply without legal assistance. However, when the system fails to update or a decision appears stuck, it can be difficult to know whether to wait, escalate or restart the process. Our client chose to seek professional support to ensure her immigration status was handled correctly and without risk.
Our Approach to Resolving the Case
The case was managed by Daria Kotkova, who guided the client through the extension process from start to finish. The application itself was completed swiftly, but the real challenge was ensuring that the Home Office system reflected the correct status. Daria closely monitored the progress, tracked inconsistencies in the online records and communicated with the relevant departments where necessary. This proactive approach ensured that the positive decision was ultimately issued and reflected properly on the system.
The client is now securely granted permission under the scheme and able to continue his life in the UK without uncertainty.
