The UK Home Office has started stripping some EU citizens of their post-Brexit residency rights, in a move that has raised concerns about Britain's compliance with its withdrawal agreement with Europe. She had expected that this would be upgraded to settled status without issue and was dismayed when the Home Office told her her status was a mistake. "People applied to the EU settlement scheme in good faith and were granted status by the Home Office years ago. It added that it would allow people to stay until their pre-settled status had expired, during which time they could seek alternative arrangements. They could also apply for full settled status, and if that was refused, legally they could appeal.
