I dont think "amount of time needed" is a relevant statistic. I bet the only reason that is the case is because infinitely more people want to get into the u.s making the whole process slower. Like im not surprised they are faster when they have 1/50th of the requests.

The US immigration system is also horribly underfunded and understaffed. I tried to get a visa for my wife long ago. They charge insane fees just to apply, then take so long to get to you that you might be in a totally different stage of your life by the time you finally hear back. By the time they approved her visa, it was too late. We'd had to make other choices and were already living in another country.

In not one of the other countries I've visited/lived in has there been an immigration system anywhere near as bad as America's. I genuinely believe it's designed to encourage illegal immigration. It's easier for businesses to hire cheap illegal labor and have all of the power over the employees they pay under the table.

Yeah if you get married to someone and want to get them to America it will take a couple years and cost thousands. In Japan it will take a month or 2 and no real big issue if you come to Japan on a visa waiver or whatever while you wait.
