I've heard it is a slow process, even for someone married to a US Citizen. But there is another process if you're not married to a US Citizen which is even longer and more painful. Back when i got a Green Card, I had to have a guarantor, and a job waiting for me.

Here is something I find fascinating. The young girl in TV that does my nails is from Viet Nam. She speaks some english, not much. When I ask her if Viet Namese people have any difficulty immigrating, she says, not at all. When she arrived, she started looking for work, she didn't have a job waiting.
