- I've seen some wondering why a person married to a US citizen might not be documented. It took me 4 years & over $1500 to get residency-and I'm a 🇨🇦 married to a 🇺🇸. In my experience, it's incredibly hard for someone whose first language isn't English and can't spare the $$ to navigate this process.Jan 24, 2025 23:41
