Interview with a Person who Had a Green Card (is now a U.S citizen)

How long did it take for you to receive your Green Card?

3 years. It takes longer for some people, and shorter for others.

Did you hire a lawyer?

Yes

Did you apply for the Green Card through employment or family?

Employment

On a scale of 1-10, how hard do you think it is to get a Green Card?

9

Did you face any problems? If so, what were the problems?

The waiting time was too long, because of the quota for China. (*see interview with Ms. Huang)

What did you not like about the process?

The quota for Chinese people (which is country based), and the waiting time.

Is there an area of the process you would like to see improved?

The processing (by the INS, now National Security) took too long. It would be better if they were more efficient.

This interview was done through a survey given to a U.S citizen who had once gone through the Green Card process and received a Green Card.
