Visa mix-up could force Erin to go back to US

A WOMAN who has lived in Manchester for four years and runs a business from Afflecks' Palace could be forced to leave the country in a visa mix-up.

Erin Taylor-Thomas, 26, moved to the UK from the USA seven years ago.

She married husband Ethan in 2020 and they built a life here running a thriving thrift shop (Beg, Steal and Borrow) inside Afflecks Palace. The business is so successful she was planning to open a second Withington branch.

But she missed the expiry of her visa in February and, despite spending nearly £7,000 applying twice for a new one, the Home Office have refused, telling her to return to a country she hasn't called home since she was 19.
