I read she was the daughter of the landlord, too. But was Duncan the father of her child? He has fathered several children by different women. The main relevance being the claim that Troh was “the love of his life.” Long distance relationships are hard in the best of circumstances. But in the 19 years since they had a child together, both have hooked up with others. Marriage would have been fast track to citizenship for him. And now it leaves here with a potential legal claim for loss, when otherwise she would have none.
“Marriage would have been fast track to citizenship for him.”
When I read that she had been married twice and both ex husbands had come over here as well, it sure made me wonder. All of her children (that we have heard of so far) were born there but are in the US. I read somewhere that Duncan is one of 7 children himself and I’ve lost count on how many of his family member’s are here.
