In this powerful episode of the Nation of Immigrants podcast, I sit down with Holda and her husband Bryce to discuss their real-life experience navigating the U.S. immigration system through marriage. Holda shares her journey—coming to the U.S. at just 13 to pursue her dream of becoming a dancer, living in the shadows for years, and finally adjusting her status after marrying Bryce. From the anxiety leading up to their green card interview to the overwhelming relief of finally being approved, this episode is filled with the honesty, hope, and heart that define so many immigrant stories.
We cover various topics, including:
- What it's like to come to the U.S. on a tourist visa as a child
- The stress of living undocumented, even with DACA
- How marriage to a U.S. citizen changed the game
- What actually happens at the green card interview (including tough questions)
- How it feels to finally be seen and safe
Whether you're considering marriage-based immigration, find yourself in a similar situation, or simply want to better understand what your friends, neighbors, or loved ones may be experiencing—this episode is for you.
