I mean, anywhere you immigrate to, you have less rights than someone born there despite the fact that they didn’t do anything to get that citizenship.
It’s pretty atrocious though that people born in India have to wait in line for decades or, like that person and many of my colleagues, have to marry someone who is not born there, while all the French people I know in the US got their green cards in 1-5 years.

There aren't even that many French greencard seekers so the quota goes unfulfilled almost every year. Meanwhile, Congress has instituted hard limits on greencards that India and China have the largest share of and manage to hit the limits every year, for decades.

- vsskanth 4y agoImmigrants understand they have less rights and if they want to go there or stay permanently they have to earn their place through whatever qualifications the host country mandates. The primary complaint here is the massively different waiting period for the same employment based green card category (qualifications) between a potential immigrant born in India (multiple decades) versus let’s say Germany (maybe a year). It’s an immutable qualification.
