Allow Ukrainians working in the UK and not receiving benefits to apply for ILR

Closed 58 signatures

What the petition asks

Let Ukrainians who came to the UK under the Ukrainian scheme apply for ILR if they never applied for any benefits and work full time.
The war in Ukraine continues, and nobody knows when it will stop. The extension of the Ukrainian scheme is very good and appreciated, but people still don't know what is next. Without the extension of the scheme, many Ukrainians may feel they have no choice but to apply for asylum. A scheme that allows Ukrainians who have been living and working in the UK, and not claimed benefits, to apply for ILR, would give security to a lot of really hardworking people.
