I'm an immigrant too but not in the US, I'm in Europe, and even with a lot of beneficial things to my case it still takes incredibly long time for my papers. I came legally and first became a refugee seeker, later got residence (but not work authorization) and now have to wait more than a half year for the right to work here, and I've been here for more than 4 years already. It's absolutely insane! The reality is I don't even want to live here, I want to move to the US, but I can't even start thinking about how to legally become a resident in the US since it's almost impossible and just thinking about it makes me want to kill myself right away. Funny coincidence, I'm also gay(maybe bi I'm still figuring that part out) and I come from a country where it's an extremely bad thing too. It's not illegal though, but everybody hates gay people and I could be murdered and nobody would do anything cuz I was gay, as far as I know gay people live in a closet far deep in that country hating themselves because of the environment they are in. I hope your case will get solved quickly, you deserve it! And you deserve to be happy! And I totally get it how it feels as if the world doesn't want you here with all these shit problems with papers to just be able to do legally what every born inside country person can do and doesn't think twice about, I don't feel wanted either. But for what it's worth, I do want you here(not as in I want you here cuz I want you to keep suffering, but as in I want you here because you deserve to be happy and you deserve to have things work out for you). Well, at least we are not alone in this shit, I love you and hope it gets solved quickly!❤
Honestly, you are absolutely ridiculous. First, admiring family based immigrants you get he benefits is because a beneficiary of the family works and payed taxes, that's literally how EVERY OTHER American born family works. You think US citizen kids pay taxes? Or US citizens wife's that don't work but are stay at home moms, you think they pay taxes other than filing as a family? No they don't. Also, there are PLENTY LITERALLY ALOT of countries with better immigration laws and policies than US, US has one of the WORST ones, you clearly haven't educated yourself on the matter. And I'm very happy for you that you got your green card, but you see not everyone is fortunate enough to have a boss willing to wait 3 years before the employee can start working, and even more, most can't efford to wait three years without being able to work cuz they need to pay their bills somehow. I'm truly happy you got fortunate, but that's all it is, you got extremely lucky by being in a very lucky position and willing to wait and put your life on hold for so many years, not everyone can have that for various reasons. But in the end the very least you could do is not being a dick to someone on a suicide forum. You people told me that legal immigrants in the US really don't like illegal immigrants or other immigrants who got their green cards faster than them, I didn't believe them but you seem to be the proof of that, which is sad, because just think about it, yes you've suffered, and you fought hard to get the green card, but why does it mean that others should suffer too? And more importantly why do you feel justified in your view that others should suffer just like you did? Aren't we as humans supposed to wish for a better world for one another and for a better life for those who come after us? I think yes, and you got lost.
