Why do you do it? I'm sorry if it sounds callous, I'm just curious really. I personally wouldn't be able to endure such a precarious and stressful situation.

You intend to leave the first 4 years.. Then someone applies for a green card on your behalf and you believe there's a path to permanence - and you see folks getting green cards all the time.. Then 5 years later you find out, because you were born in the wrong country, you get to wait 70 years instead of 1. But by then you have a wife, kids and a dog. Then you kinda resign yourself to have to leaving someday but stay and make the TC you can while you can
