Well.... Those lawyers.... They are always to blame for the wrongs of this world! Keep in mind that you ask the question of lawyers again. Did you provide all this documentation to the lawyer? How often did you communicate with the lawyer? What was the explanation given to you by the lawyers. These and many other questions need to be answered before an answer could be offered in your specific situation. In general, those "chances" for appeal of the change of status denial are nothing but a destruction and a waste of time and money.ey. 

A person who applies for asylum and has no other status is here under grace, and not under a legal nonimmigrant status. In leaving the US, she would have given up her asylum claim. She would find it hard to come back to the US on a tourist visa. To an American consular officer, she would have a difficult time showing nonimmigrant intent. I am not sure from your fact situation if you are saying that you are in the process of trying to get the green card or if she is or was. If you are in the middle of the process, and if your process allows you to travel out of the US and your category does not bar you from being married, you may travel overseas to marry her and add her to your case if you are serious about her. Also if you are a US citizen and serious about her, you might be able to bring her back under a K-1 fiancée visa or through marrying her and petitioning directly for her permanent residence. With a green card, you would only be able to take the second route. I note that overstays of 180 days or one year bar an individual from returning to the US for three years or 10 years respectively with some exceptions. In the asylum application context, your girlfriend should be prepared to show that her asylum claim was not frivolous.

It doesn't matter if you are divorced. Since you have a 10 year green card that means you already removed conditions from your green card. If you are eligible for citizenship it may be a better idea to apply for citizenship instead of renewing the green card. Consult with an experienced immigration attorney to make sure you satisfy all the eligibility criteria to apply for citizenship.
