Kyle Harris, a 39-year-old father from Wheatley, South Yorkshire, has found himself stranded on the Greek island of Kefalonia after being denied boarding a Jet2 flight back to the UK due to new immigration rules. Born in the United States to a British mother, Harris has lived in the UK since he was a baby and has always used his American passport for travel. However, recent changes by the Home Office now require dual nationals to present a valid UK or Irish passport to enter the UK. His wife, Ruth, expressed their distress on social media, highlighting the lack of communication regarding these rule changes during their travel. The couple, who were on a week-long holiday with their two young sons, are now facing a lengthy process to prove Harris's right to return home, which could take several weeks.
