UK Visas and Immigration have received thousands of applications for the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine Scheme. UKVI are processing the paperwork as quickly as possible, and additional caseworkers have been brought in to manage this demand.

Applications are normally processed in date order from when documents were uploaded, or after an appointment at a Visa Application Centre (VAC).
