Join me for a special episode where I welcome back immigration attorney Michael Wildes to discuss the green card process in the U.S. Michael explains the various paths to getting a green card, including the EB-5 visa program, which allows investors to obtain a green card. He also discusses employment-based visas like the EB-1 for those with extraordinary abilities. Additionally, Michael explores how domestic violence can affect immigration cases and shares practical advice for those seeking a green card through marriage.
