They always make sense. Just not until the end.

My understanding is that if we were to enter the country on a tourist visa and overstay, then we would be ineligible for the green card because we entered the country under false pretenses and that disqualifies you from getting residency. Yes, one child is American but was born abroad.

It's the American consulate in China.

Well, Venezuelans might disagree about persecution. A lot of the other claim that they are being targeted by the gangs and some of those are legit.

They actually end up in legal limbo all the time. They rarely get approved for a green card or citizenship. DACA is the closest thing that has happened to them and that is an awful stressful place to be because they really have no control over their future and they were usually brought here as children,

Also, I should clarify because this doesn't seem known. Being married to an American does not give someone the right to US citizenship. It makes them eligible to apply for a green card with a number that is not limited. However, it still takes 12- 18 months and costs at least 1500$ and that is when things are good.

I don't know if you guys understand. China is not holding her hostage. The USA is the ones who are not letting her come into the USA yet.

You can't claim Asylum unless you come from an area where you are being persecuted. If it was that easy everyone would do it.
