You think that’s bad, how ‘bout THIS piece of insanity.
If you want to come here from another country and get your Green Card, you have to pass a battery of medical tests to prove that you are not carrying any communicable diseases.
However, if you are coming into this country on an H1B or other temporary work visa, NO such tests are required!
You can live her for up to six years on an H1B.
I have known people who lived in the country for six years before being sent out to undergo a battery of medical tests prior to applying for their Green Cards.
After six years, we’ve pretty much been exposed to everything they might have had.
sigh....
