[quote=Anonymous]I've been living in the US for 20 years on various work visas and I'm waiting for a green card. We did not intend on getting US citizenship at first - we were just working here. But with US-born kids who feel American, first and foremost, and who wish to attend college here, we've come to realize that it's way less of a hassle to ask for a green card and later get citizenship, than it is to renew visas every few years. We've always paid taxes here so the only thing that would change is not having endless visa paperwork to do. We're in a circle where a lot of wealthy, educated foreigners are making the same calculus - based on the cultural identity of their children, and what their children want. This is how you live in a country legally for years without getting citizenship. [/quote]
