A Green Card holder is a permanent resident that has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants a person a permanent resident card, commonly called a "Green Card."
We already have 3 plans in motion.
- USCIS working on her green card, 11 months in, handled all the papers and legalities.
- Annual international trip budget allocation to UK and Ireland to see her relatives every christmas and summer.
- I have formed connection with hospitals and friends if she ever wants referrals if she decided to pursue nursing, not only that but I have reserved $30,000 for her tuition if ever, where I worked 80+ hours last year per week for that.
4th is we are still planning how to go about the financial adjustment and priorities(kids). What I'm asking here is what OTHERS HAVE DONE, I haven't made a decision yet that's why I'm trying to gather information.
If I came on as a boastful guy who is downplaying the situation, and not sacrificing anything at all, then I don't know what else to say.
EDIT: to add to this, We've tried having her stay here for 3 months every year and see if she likes it. Just to make sure she can adjust gradually.
