South Australian mother faces deportation over visa paperwork error

Ying-Hsi Chou, a Taiwanese citizen living in South Australia, faces deportation within 28 days due to a visa application error from 2012 in which she failed to declare a previous visit to Australia. She is married to an Australian citizen and has three Australian-born children. If deported, she would be separated from her family and must wait at least three years before reapplying for an Australian visa.
