I feel like the people who have strong opinions on this subject regardless of the position they have are typically ones who never come across undocumented migrants in their (daily) lives but I feel like you can expand that to almost any hot debated topic
Right? Please a thread about that next marikomoroseBruh I was like homie casually came with the, “Yea Im racist..”
wait what?
21 years for a green card thru a blood sibling and 3 years thru marriage?
so how do normal people get green cards besides marriage?
that's a hell of an assumption.
Word.
Majority of NT swears they care for all/love all opinions and beliefs, except for those that go against their own.
Yeah, that worksheet makes it seem real nice and simple to immigrate here, but it ain't. I've been doing the process:
My wife and I got married in December 2020, and I worked on getting her permanent residence/green card here the day after. I was born and raised in the U.S., should be a slam dunk, easy transition to get wifey status right? NOPE.
I submitted OVER 300 pages of documentation of my finances/residency/utility bills/everything (more than a mortgage). Cost >3500$ just to APPLY.
Fast forward to today, nearly a year later. They're still processing it. Wifey had biometric screening, got her authorization to work. Still no SSN, still can't get drivers license, process to have her become a resident here STILL AINT FINISHED
I couldn't imagine trying to apply becoming naturalized in U.S through other means. Way of becoming a resident through marriage is supposed to be EASIEST
+1 on this. I’m a US citizen and had to go through this nightmare to bring wifey over. And she’s from one of “safe countries” so the level of scrutiny we faced was minimal. Submitted years and years of tax returns, a book report essay of how we met with pics, all sorts of forms, so many different applications etc. Took about 1.5 year end to end. I really can’t imagine how this process even works for people that aren’t familiar with the US, English, face extra scrutiny etc. Really such a terrible system.

@ flipinos/mexicans wait timesYeah, this was info I learned a few years ago, so maybe the waitlist has now gotten longer, considering Immigration was a policy we didn't put much effort into.
The below is the current backlog processing prioritization dates:
c. Unskilled workers
normal as in that ur not a NBA/NFL/singer/actor/professor/ceo/uber rich guy that are fast trackedKind of. You can look at the Dep't of State's visa bulletin's "Final Action Dates" section under the Family-sponsored preferences section to see which green card applications are ready for approval. See https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...in/2021/visa-bulletin-for-september-2021.html. The wait/backlog varies by country.
If you're talking about marriage, it depends if you're married to a US citizen or a green card holder; if the latter, it might also depend on if you're already in the US, or if you're outside of the US. Regardless the wait for spouses of USCs is generally much shorter than that of other family-based preference categories though.
Not sure what "normal" means here but there's quite a few paths for people to get green cards other than marriage to a USC/LPR. Examples might include -- you're here in the US through your employer, or you're a victim of trafficking (labor or sex, whatever), you're an asylee or refugee, you've been the victim of certain felonies, you won the diversity visa lottery, etc. You might be able to do what's called "adjust status" to apply for your green card w/ USCIS if you meet certain requirements.
@ flipinos/mexicans wait times
"unskilled workers"? so why not have your job get your a GC?
i'm guessing there's a major catch here or ppl wouldn't be waiting decades
So which country has the best or most ideal system? One that the US could maybe model after.
i understand if u have above exceptional level of education or talent in somethingWhat do you mean catch? The reason why the backlog is so long, is because of the applications they have outstanding, along with the complexity of cases from applicants in those countries.
humans have never been allowed to live whereverPeople never really discuss the topic of immigration head on. It's always comes down to the "humans should be able to live where they want or not" argument.
Damn. Japan is the second most popular nation in the world….because anime.

I don't mind illegal immigration cause I know none of them are skilled enough to
I also welcome cheap unskilled labor
