One of my colleagues is a British man who just gained his US citizenship in 2021. Heโs been here since 2007 on a marriage visa. And prior to that, he has described the immigration process as โarduous.โ
And getting married is apparently the easy way to get in.
Also the US is notoriously easier to get into than almost any other country
Haha, what do you base that on?!
My experience is the exact opposite. Iโm a software engineer at a big tech company, and in this climate even they are unable to sponsor a visa to the US from the UK. Literally anywhere else? Sure, no problem at all, whether it be Europe, Singapore, China, Japan, Egypt, Australia, anywhere we have an office - except America.
Americans, welcome anywhere! Weโve got two in my team alone this year, and in 5 years they can get permanent residency. I know managers that want me on their team because I built tooling for them, but theyโre not allowed to hire me because it would require a visaโฆ
David Beckham got treated like royalty and carried into citizenship.
If you wanna get gay married for citizenship Iโm cheap and have fantastic insurance.
I base that on the laws and regulations that the US has for immigration, vs the ones that countries like The UK, Germany, Japan, Canada and Australia have. There are navigable paths to US citizenship for people that donโt have skills that are needed in the US. For many other countries you either have to be rich or skilled to get in. Poor people arenโt welcome. Poor people arenโt exactly welcome in the US either, but they can get in.
