    Some of these stories confuse me. Is this a case of her not even having a green card after 5 years? Or is it a case of them deporting green card holders?

      Probably in the process for a green card after marrying and changing status, which easily costs between $7k-$10k and now takes years thanks to Trump fucking the immigration process. It wasnt fast before either, but now its a “who knows how long it will take” process

        The application fee for family green card was about $2k when we did it and the lawyer was another $2k. Temporary status gets updated as soon as the paperwork is processed and you get a letter. That’s what I’m wondering here - is this another escalation of deporting those with legal status, or what? That seems like an important detail on leave out.
