Reconsider the immigration rules. As a permanent resident, it takes a long time to bring the spouse over.

The process of obtaining a green card for spouse of the green card holder is lengthy. This causes the separation of families and puts a financial burden on the,. It would be great if spouses are allowed to enter the country while their case is being reviewed. A fake marriage is much easier to achieve by marriage to a US citizen, yet there are no waiting times for citizens. President Obama emphasized on the importance of the family but this separation is really hard. It causes issues in families, and additionally it is expensive to travel out of the country multiple times each year (Sometimes this is not feasible due to work/life situations i.e. not enough vacation times left). We respectfully ask you to reconsider this provision of the immigration law.
