Myth vs Fact

MYTH:  It is easy to enter the U.S. legally.

FACT: 

Entering the U.S. legally is often a complex and lengthy process.  Whether it is applying for a tourist visa, work visa, student visa, or seeking asylum, each requires meeting strict criteria and going through multiple steps.  For instance, visa applications often involve extensive documentation, interviews, long waiting periods and can be very expensive.  Asylum seekers must prove they have a credible fear of persecution in their home country, adding another layer of complexity.  The increasing scrutiny of asylum claims, combined with policy changes, has also made it harder for many people to seek refuge in the U.S. through legal means.  Additionally, there are quotas, legal restrictions, and potential delays, making legal entry more difficult than many people realize.   All of these factors contribute to the reality that entering the U.S. legally is a difficult and often uncertain process.
