Marriage during 10 year bar...

[cdsjackson]

My Girlfriend lived in the US for about 10 years under a pending political asylum case. Unfortunately this case, after a few appeals was denied. She was living in AZ with her mother and sisters. Her mother was the one who submitted the asylum application, but due to some events, she filed it a year after they had overstayed their visa. This process took over 6 years and they received their denial letter at the beginning of October, 2010. We were not given a date to leave, nor were they deported, instead the left voluntarily before any other notice was sent. She does not have a criminal background either there in Colombia, which is where she currently resides, nor in the US. On the contrary, She has never failed to file her tax forms, she was not a burden to the state, and she was an exemplary student. She was 10 years old when she entered the States under a tourist visa, then when she family and her left, she had already turned 21 years old. Our questions are the following:
* Will or has she be penalized with the 10 year ban?
* If so, can she file for a waiver or pardon?
* Does it make a difference that she was a minor when she entered?
* Will it make a difference if she states that she had to stay with her family because she was a minor?
* If we get married there in Colombia, is it easier for her to be allowed back in the US?
* Is it at all possible to file for a K-1 fiancée visa?
* Is there any other possibility for her to apply to go back to the US?
* If she does have the 10 year ban, does that affect her entrance/application process to go to another country?

I really love her and want for her to be here with me. We will be sooo grateful for anyone who can give us any advice. Thank you

A1: Yes, she is subject to a 10 year ban
A2: She cannot file for a waiver or pardon. Only a sponsoring US citizen relative can and that too has a very low success rate.
A3: It would have mattered had she also left the US as a minor. However that is not the case.
A4: No difference
A5: No difference
A6: Of course you can file for a K-1. The I-129F may be approved but she will be denied a visa when she appears for the consular interview.
A7: You both can marry in Columbia and then you may file for her GC and file for a waiver. Very low chance of approval but there is still a miniscule window. USCIS can always ask you to move to her country if you love her that much. Gauge it from their perspective.
A8: No
