Home Office Error Leaves German Mother Separated from Child in UK
A German woman, Liza Tobay, has been separated from her two-year-old daughter in Edinburgh due to a Home Office administrative error. Tobay, who has lived in the UK for 15 years, was traveling with her six-year-old son when she was informed at the Dusseldorf airport that her settled status had been 'red flagged,' preventing her from boarding a connecting flight to Edinburgh. Despite having proof of her settled status, she was unable to access the necessary digital verification. The Home Office later identified a 'ghost number' error in her records, which could take up to three weeks to resolve, leaving Tobay potentially separated from her daughter for an extended period.
