Yeah this really irks me, not just about the US but immigration in most 1st world countries is a pain in the butt. "a million people naturalize every year, so it can't be that hard" - I'll bet none of the people that say that has first hand experience in immigrating. It is an infuriatingly opaque and arbitrary process & there is often very little you can do about it.
