A recent report says that more and more Asian immigrants are increasingly getting their green cards in the Portland area quicker, and turning citizens sooner than other people of other regions in the United States of America.<\/p>\n
The report states the 50 per cent of the Asians born overseas and who applied for their green cards in 2013 received their green cards, compared with just around 24 per cent for the other communities. These groups belong to Latin America and Canada.<\/p>\n
Asian born applicants for immigration were also accorded citizenship in America in greater numbers, 50 per cent more than those from other countries.<\/p>\n
When it came to individual countries immigrants from Mexico remained the biggest group of green card holders and also new American citizens. According to the report the data received did not include the hundreds and thousands of residents in the country who had no legal documentation; these people were mostly from Mexico and other Central American countries, and they had a more difficult road to take for obtaining a green card.<\/p>\n
Illegal and undocumented immigrants who had American spouses, children and parents were usually asked to leave the United States and wait for at least 10 years before they could officially re-enter. This is called the \u201cFamily Separation Penalty\u201d. The unfortunate thing was that it was not easy for illegal and undocumented immigrants to get their green cards easily, and they remained in the shadows. In fact, the report said that even those who overstayed their visas found it easier to get legal permission to reside in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
