Is it easier to marry your American fiancé and wait for the green card versus applying for jobs and ticking on the “I’ll require sponsorship” box 🤦🏻‍♀️

i honestly think it is easier to go down the marriage route. but it sucks that we’re in this position! we shouldn’t have to choose to be dependent on a relationship or an employer to be here. i wish being good at our jobs was enough.
