Green Card might be the dream of every immigrant and in this video I am sharing with you my very raw experience on how receiving the Green Card has changed several aspects of my life: from mental state and sense of security, to fear of deportation and dealing with discrimination, and all the way to traveling abroad and applying for jobs. I will also highlight some of the upcoming changes in the Immigration Reform 2021 due to the new administration in the White House, particularly a happy update on the Diversity Visa Lottery aka Green Card lottery - good luck!!!

    Do you know someone waiting for or with a Green Card? How did their life change? Maybe this is you? Let me know!
  • You can travel though even when you don’t have green card, if you apply for advance parole. But they do a “secondary review” at the passport control when you come back and this is not the most pleasant procedure😂😂😂
