Ukrainian family's Edinburgh plans in ruins after parents granted visa but not their baby

A Ukrainian family with hopes of starting a new life in Edinburgh have been left in limbo after both parents had their visas approved through the Homes for Ukrainians scheme but not their one-year-old daughter.

Dad Erman Karaca, 39, and his wife Daria Zhyhynas, 24, were initially delighted to receive their approved visas to seek salvage in Scotland after fleeing war torn Ukraine, but the relief soon turned to fear when they discovered unlike her parents, little Angelina's visa had not been approved.

After Edinburgh Live contacted the UK Government for clarification on the toddler's visa application they were unable to confirm, instead saying they are "continuing to make improvements so the Home Office can speed up the process further."
