It depends. There's a ton less bureaucracy involved with a blue card in Germany compared to an H1B visa in the US; on the other hand, the requirements for (say) a fishing license in Germany are borderline ridiculous [1].
That actually doesn't see that bad. It's effort, but at least it is predictable and clearly laid out ... very German imho. In the US things are generally more opaque, requiring experts (lawyers, even lobbyists) to explain how various agencies actually operate. Without that advice, most of the paperwork is either incorrect, unnecessary, or won't ever allow your issue to progress.
Try looking up the procedures for an EB-5 visa application. They don't mention that, since the prez made certain statements re deportations, the immigration people are going nuts. Each and every step is being examined as if your client was trying to export uranium.
