Roadmap to get better

Ive been going to a crossfit gym for about three years and thats where i have been introduced to olympic style weightlifting. Ive made good progress in several areas but the more technical lifts like the snatch i feel like im not progressing and probably doing everything wrong. The coaches try to help me but it seems like its just not working for me. I know a primary reason for that is because crossfit classes dont spend enough time on each lift to make fast progress.

I would like to get better at the snatch and im wondering if i could make good progress spending dedicated time out of my CrossFit classes to work on it by myself and use YouTube as a guide or if i should go to a city about an hour away that has an olympic weightlifting gym and work with a trainer there.

Gym fans and air quality

The crossfit gym ive been going to for the past few years doesnt have ac but they opened up the doors and ran several fans, it always worked fine.

The gym has moved to a new building and its insulated and has ac, set at about 85F and they are also running fans. As far as i know no one else is having an issue but it seems to be problematic for me. The fans running stirs up dust and it doesnt have anywhere to ventilate because they have the doors closed because of the air conditioner. The dust is probably worse because its a brand new building and there is bits of construction dust here and there. My lungs are aching from the dust inhalation. Im going to talk to the gym owner about it but Im wondering if i just have sensitive lungs or has anyone else ever run into an issue like that?

Overstayed Visa

I (USC) have been talking to a woman from Mexico and considering dating her. I would like to know ahead of time though if she can’t immigrate to the USA in case we got married.

She told me that she came to the united states on a visitors visa years ago and had a baby. She overstayed her visa idk how long the visa was for, and stayed in the usa about 12 years and then went back to Mexico. She left the USA on her own about 4 years ago without being deported.

Her son is living in the USA and about to graduate high school and she applied for another visitor visa but was denied for “not having the same job for five years”, they didn’t say anything about having a ban from usa. I have heard that if you overstay a visitors visa they could get banned from reentry. Is there a way to find out if she is banned or not?
