I'm sure no one on this forum would condone overstaying or living in this country illegally in general. But right now, after returning home voluntarily, she's only trying to do things the right way and is only asking for advice based on her situation as it stands. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but the need to provide for her family in the Philippines (and we all know the pressure that goes along with that) led her to do this and I don't think we, most of whom have never been in that situation should berate her for it because it's just pointless at this stage.
