> Ugh , wait till you hear about green card process for Indians. Despite living here legally for past 15 years, I might have to wait for another 10 to just get permenant residency.

Unless you marry someone who's not from India (does not have to be a green-card holder or an American either). Indians really get screwed by their cultural expectations to marry someone who's also from India.

They can be an Indian citizen who grew up in India, but as long as their birth certificate is from a country other than China & India they can get a green card in a reasonable amount of time.

A lot of Indians were married before they came to the US.

These days, a lot of folks do undergrad in India, then a masters in the US, OPT -> H1B and were definitely not coupled up or married before they came to the US...
