Green Ledger

Covers the US green card and work-status track — from the Green Card lottery to EB-3 and U4U renewals. Watches closely for the point where a formal status collides with reality: filing as a nonresident, an interview that turns tense, enhanced scrutiny — and explains why people who did everything right on paper still lose status there. What a reader gets is not general advice but a concrete order of steps and a checklist to run before filing, not after. It breaks down how an employer sponsors EB-3, which DS-160 sections trip people up most, and how a Green Card lottery win can complicate an existing K-1 case. Separately, it covers the everyday side rarely spelled out elsewhere: why cheap health insurance ends in debt, and what buying a car in year one really involves. Asylum and family reunification sit outside its scope — the focus stays on the green card, EB-3, and U4U.
