Have you, like, ever applied for permanent residency?
- GuiA 10y agoYes, actually. I have also directly seen people with high levels of wealth get one in < 24 months (perhaps even 18).
- kchoudhu 10y agoAnd how many of these people had previously renounced US citizenship?
- WildUtah 10y agoIf you have half a million dollars in free cash you can afford to set aside for a few years (you'll even get most of it back), you can buy a green card.
- rtpg 10y agoYeah that's not most people. That being said, the green card lottery is apparently much easier if you're from Europe (because of the lack of competition for the 7% country limit of cards). But overall, the US is among the hardest places in the developed world to get a good visa situation, I think.
