OP here.

Both my kids are US citizens. My husband and I are waiting on our green card application and cannot leave the US until it's approved or denied. My kids are free to travel abroad.

Interesting about the jet lag: you think she's less likely to suffer from it with a shorter trip? It's true the event is on a weekend, so she could, in theory, miss less school. I was just thinking it would be even more tiring, but maybe not?

So you have a college aged son that is a U.S. citizen, and somehow you and spouse don’t even have green cards yet? Something doesn’t add up  [/quote]

OP here. My husband and I have been living in the US for decades on a series of work visas and our kids were born here. We have only recently started the process of getting green cards and possibly, down the road, US citizenship. In the past, this did not seem important to us. We are citizens of a European country, and were not in any rush to add another citizenship. We could not predict how dire the political situation was going to become.

We know a lot of international families on visas in our same situation, coming from first-world countries and in no rush to become US citizens. Everyone could move about freely on their visas without fear of detention or deportation.
Previously none of this mattered until this administration made it a point of contention.
