Re: immigration law

1. With regards to your travel, the requirements are based on what country you are from and what the country you are travelling to (Malaysia/Thailand) requires.

2. If you received asylum in the US, it is not advisable to return to that country as an asylee or green card holder, however you should speak with an immigration attorney to confirm and discuss your travel plans.

3 & 4. With regards to your girlfriend, you should consult with an immigration attorney to discuss her options with regards to entering the United States and applying for permanent residency here.
