We, american citizens by birth who have unmarried sons and daughters born overseas, actually have to wait around 8 YEARS to bring them to OUR country, (only have 23.400 visas/year) while a permanent resident has a waiting time of less than 2 years to bring their families (spouses, children) to this country. Looks like a green card has more preference than a mother's birth certificate. We believe Homeland Security and the Government should make it easier for a US citizen by birth to bring their unmarried children to his/her country than a permanent resident, by giving more visas to US citizens. If a permanent resident has to wait more than an american citizen, they might think about it twice before immigrating to our country.
