Oh god, I'm crazy for trying to write this. Um, so I have a young Irishman and a young South Korean woman, both in their late teens, both legally minors in their countries of citizenship. It's the late 70s or early 80s, not quite sure yet. Irishman came to SK on vacation with the ulterior motive of running away with this Korean chick, his girlfriend. She steals a large quantity of money from her father, and off they go!
Now, I need them to get to America eventually. It doesn't have to be right away; it can take a decade, even. Assuming their families aren't making much of an effort to find them, what routes to residency would be available to them? Can they do it as minors, or do they need to hide out somewhere for a few years? Are there "bridge" type countries that would be easier for them to move to while they put that pesky fugitive status behind them?
Come on, I know this has been done. I don't need lots of detail since this is all basically backstory.
