hi mates, it seems getting a green card is tough...wonder how
people go thru it
I got mine in early '93. The first company I worked at fresh out of
college set me up with an immigration attorney. It was a relatively
painless affair as the attorney handled all the paperwork and
accompanied me to the requisite INS interviews. The whole process
took just under a year.
The naturalization process, which I went through in '07/'08, was
even simpler and quicker. All it took was a two-page application
form, the payment of a processing fee, a brief interview with a
USCIS official and a short waiting period before I was
reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the citizenship
ceremony.
