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.

To get a Green Card, an immigrant still has to have much in place as you did and it is a long, long, expensive process (for those who apply legally rather than buying the phony papers as so many coming over our southwest border do).
For the Vietnamese, there were and probably still are special provisions for refugees immigrating legally, as there are for Cuban nationals who are able to get here and touch one foot down on American soil (Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966).....which though legal, still takes a long time to process.
