Does your girlfriend have a strong enough reason to return back to Thailand? Own a house? Business? Kids?

My wife recently got her visa to USA to live and work, when she went to the embassy for the interview she said even those married to US citizens were being denied ( marriage under 2 years), luckily we’ve been married over 10 years and she got her visa.
