I always see people from India complaining about the USA citizenship process and particularly about greencard. Makes me curious about: are there indians out there who are happy with the citizenship process? If so, what are your reasons? #greencard
Me. I’m Indian, and I’m happy with the process. Reason: I knew what I was getting into. I knew the reality and still chose to come here just for the high pay. No one forced me to. So I see no reason why I should whine about it now. If I don’t like it — I’ll simply move back to India.
99.9% Indians are unhappy because: 1. The outcome is not definite. Whether you get the visa/green card depends on a lot of flaky things like visa interview, lottery system, changing policies etc. 2. A very long journey: waiting for 10+ years just for permanent residency (not even citizenship). And 10 years is still short, nowadays the queue is so long that the waiting time is undefined. 3. Dependence of job and livelihood on visa. You can be well settled with kids in school. If you lose your visa, it's over. You have to leave your home, get kids out of school and leave the country in a matter of months.
Other than some of the facepalm responses, I think the question itself has a logical fallacy. You’re asking people if they’re happy about something that’s deteriorating to their lives and creates huge uncertainties. Other than some anecdotal coincidence, I wonder how someone would be happy about it and not just for the sake of argument.
That's the way!
None, extremely rare.
I’m happy, because I am an Indian but wasn’t born in India.
Happy and indifferent, will go back to India anyway.
Warning: My post is full of mixed and conflicting feelings. I guess those who got GC are happy. I am ambivalent. I would love it if I get GC tomorrow since it makes things so much easier. I can easily change jobs. Not worry about getting fired etc. However, I am not sad because I knew what I was getting into. Still I feel its an unjust situation. Kind of like "taxation without representation" (you know, the same sentiment that led to that incident in 1776). Since, I don't have any permanent resident rights, I feel sad to pay sooooo much in taxes. I am still grateful for the time I have spent here so far.
Do u not use the same infrastructure as citizens ? I dint know there was a separate lane for non citizens ? Do emergency services ask for u r citizenship status ? Other than voting u can access all the same infrastructure as citizens so what are u whining about ?
^ I am grateful for that. Let me flip the question back to you- do I get a discount on my taxes because I cannot vote and choose the president? Do I get a discount since I cannot elect my senator? Do I get a vote, or say into how the tax money is spent (on wars, or education)? Asking justified questions is not whining. Broaden your mindset. And stop having an illusion that you are equal to a citizen. Break just a single rule by mistake, and they will deport you so fast, your head will reel....
I'm happy overall but the only thing I hate is that I can't come and go as I want. Waiting for a Visa appointment and there are none right now.
Are there any homeless people who are happy with sleeping on the street?
😂
This dude fucks😂😂
