For those of you who recently moved to the US, how did you do it?

The immigrants I know mostly came through work visas, family sponsorship, or university programs that later turned into jobs. What surprised me was how much paperwork, waiting, and uncertainty was involved compared to the “just move abroad” idea people sometimes have.

That’s my wife! Came over on a J1. Overstayed. Married me. Had to go years before green card, and more years before naturalization. She’s doing the oath taking on 7/2. It’ll be her 12th year or so in this country, 10 legally, 8 years together, 1st Fourth of July as a citizen this year. Let’s go!!

What's with the casual overstaying and casually sharing that you overstayed or are overstaying?

If USCIS doesn’t mind, why do you? Overstaying is grounds for immediate deportation, every case is different. Her papers are legit now, that’s all that matters.

Asking a question doesn't mean that I mind. This is a public forum where people ask questions and receive answers...?

It's how you worded your question.

And more to the point, why?

My question because ragging on Americans and America is the default.

Walked

Took a walk then took the dog for a walk, bought some groceries, heated up leftovers (enchiladas from scratch, even the tortillas are homemade, that shit is delicious), and read a book for a while

Put my wallet in plastic wrap, stuffed it along with my clothes and shoes into a garbage bag and then into my backpack, swam across Rio Grande in my undies. Put my clothes back on later and walked away with a wet backpack that dried within a few hours.
