US Immigration
-
It has always been easy (allegedly) to get in here illegally: ask any of the 12 million plus illegal immigrants currently here. It is very difficult to get here legally to work - read this: Working in the US[^]. To become a permanent resident alien (and hence a citizen) is costly and can take years, presumably why so many people enter illegally and take their chances.

I have read laws and guidelines. That's exactly what amazes me. How can so many people be there like forever with these rather strict laws?

I have never been able to figure out how people move out of India without going abroad on study visa or going on a work permit on current job and then leaving.
Through family immigration. US citizens of Indian origin often file family-immigration Visas for their siblings.

It's like India's marriage age laws. Despite laws, so many girls get married off when they are 12-17. Or like the dowry laws.

Spit out your secret you genius devil. :-D So, with all technology and checks and what not, people are still able to find loop holes that messes up things for authentic applicants? I never realized it. I have a business visa and it was easy. Of course, I had all documents etc ready and correct. The amount of security and other things I saw while applying for US visa was way different from other countries I have been to thus far.

A little wig on my head would make it go down by 20. Rest I can manage with my slender figure. Great, we are talking about illegal sneak in on interwebs. Now what was that agency (or whatever) that knows every breath you take in US?

Well, they are 2 separate things. The legal immigrants have it tough because of a huge backlog. They have country specific quotas, and people from countries like China and India where the standard of life is low, immigrate in huge numbers. So while someone from Australia waits 2 years, someone from India waits 9 years. The illegals don't follow any of these rules. But it's not a black and white issue. Some of these illegals were sneaked in here by their family when they were under the age of 4. So technically, they are illegals, but morally speaking, they are Americans too. They were raised here, they've never lived anywhere else.

That probably makes me one of the very few who have no intentions of going to US. I have been there for 10 days and I liked it. But, I don't know, I am not excited to be there. I would prefer going to Sudan that spending life in US for meager material benefits. (I just made a big comment. I may not be able to fulfill it.)

Well it's easier for guys. Most Indians who came here who hate the idea of ever going back are usually women because of how they get treated there.

I don't get that either, but what really confuses me is how some are able to get a driver's license. I came to the US on an H1-B visa and it took them 18 months from I passed the tests to get around to issue me a license. They gave me a temporary license and I had to extend that several times. BTW, I am still here because I received a Green Card through the Diversity Visa Lottery. I had sent in the application about three years in a row before I moved to the US, then my name was picked in the lottery a few months after I arrived on the H1-B. Soren Madsen

Many foreign IT companies (India/China etc.) file H1B Visas but may not necessarily send those employees to the US. It's just a preemptive measure to make sure that if and when a project is live, they can then send these guys right away instead of waiting to get Visas for them.

That does not happen as much now as they have stamped down on that practice - they are more diligent with the criteria, especially pay. BTW, this is the first year for a while that the visas all went in the first week.

Sorry, I kind of don't get it. Are you referring to gender unbiased behavior here?
"Bastards encourage idiots to use Oracle Forms, Web Forms, Access and a number of other dinky web publishing tolls.", Mycroft Holmes[^]
I am referring to how women in India have a far lower quality of life and independence compared to men in India. (not referring to crimes against women, just the cultural and social attitude towards women)
