The family of a British woman detained in the US for three weeks because of a visa mix-up say she has left the immigration detention centre and are hopeful she is on her way home.
Rebecca Burke, 28, a graphic artist from Monmouthshire, was trying to cross from the US state of Washington into Canada when she was refused entry.
Canadian authorities told her to go back to the US and fill in new paperwork before returning.

She does not seem to have a visa, she was in the US on the Visa Waiver Programme and seems to have tried to enter Canada on a similar basis and was refused. Not sure what the new paperwork was.
