The asylum officer asked:
-why did you come to USA?
-you voluntarily left your children behind, to come to USA?
Tell me all of your international travel! all of it, not just some.
What does each stamp in your passport indicate?
Why did you go to Zimbabwe in 2011?
why go to Kenya in 2012? and then, voluntarily, you returned to the "dangerous country"?
You tried to escape from the mean boyfriend in 2010, 2011, but not in 2012? You are inconsistent, aren't you?
-did your boyfriend know you applied for a passport?
If he didn't want you to travel, why didn't he take passport away from you?
Did he ask you about your passport?
Why didn't he ask? is he stupid?
=
How did the police find out what you were doing in March 2013?
How did you pay for your trip to Kenya?
How did you pay for trip to USA?
=
is there anything else?
You say, "in my culture," you must do certain things? like what? what is the penalty if you break the rules?
