1- Are you willing to marry a random American just to get US citizenship? Why?
No, I wouldn’t marry a random person just for citizenship because marriage is a serious commitment. It should be based on mutual respect and love, not just legal benefits. Plus, marrying someone solely for papers can have legal and emotional consequences. I believe in earning opportunities honestly. Citizenship is important, but integrity matters more to me.
2- Have you ever attended a lottery to get a US Green Card? Why?
I have never entered the Green Card lottery before. It’s a popular way for many people to try their luck for legal residency. But personally, I prefer exploring other options like work visas or education opportunities. I feel those paths align more with my career and goals. Still, it’s a good chance for many hopeful immigrants.
3- Where in the United States would you like to live? Why?
I think I’d like to live in a city like Seattle or Austin. They have a good mix of nature, technology, and culture, which appeals to me. Also, the communities there tend to be welcoming and diverse. The climate is pleasant, and there are lots of opportunities for career growth. It seems like a balanced and inspiring environment.
4- Why are you considering living in the United States? Explain
I’m considering living in the US because of the career opportunities and quality of life. The US offers a lot of diversity in work and culture, which can help me grow personally and professionally. I also want to experience new cultures and broaden my worldview. Education and technology access are better there too. It’s a chance to challenge myself and learn.
5- Apart from family and friends, what would you most miss from your country?
Apart from family and friends, I would miss the food and festivals from my home country the most. The flavors, traditions, and celebrations hold a special place in my heart. I’d also miss the sense of community and the familiar everyday routines. Those cultural ties make me feel grounded. But I’d try to keep those alive even from afar.
6- What would be your family’s reaction to this? Would they support your decision?
My family would probably have mixed feelings but ultimately support me. They might worry about the distance and changes, but they want what’s best for me. I’d keep them updated and involved as much as possible. Their support means a lot, and I’d make sure to stay connected. They understand the importance of new opportunities.
7- Are you willing to migrate to the USA in exchange for doing degrading (low-profile) jobs like prostitution or porn work?
No, I’m not willing to migrate by doing degrading or low-profile jobs like prostitution or porn work. I believe everyone deserves dignity and respect in their work. I want to pursue opportunities that align with my values and skills. Survival is important, but so is maintaining self-respect and safety. I would look for legitimate work that fits my qualifications.
8- What is the reason you moved out of your country to move here? How did you prepare for the move?
I moved out because I wanted better career prospects and life experiences. I prepared by researching the culture, job market, and visa requirements. I saved money, improved my language skills, and connected with people already living there. Planning well helped me feel more confident about the move. It was a big step, but I saw it as a chance to grow.
9- What do you think about intercultural relationships? Are you ok with marrying a black person in the USA?
I think intercultural relationships are a beautiful way to learn and grow. I’m completely okay with marrying a black person or anyone else, as long as there’s love and respect. Differences in culture can enrich a relationship and broaden horizons. What matters most to me is connection and understanding. Diversity is something I appreciate.
10- Are you ok doing same-gender marriage in the US so that you can get citizenship? Why or why not?
I’m not comfortable with same-gender marriage just to get citizenship if it’s not genuine. Marriage should be about true commitment, not just legal benefits. I respect everyone’s choices, but I prefer honesty in relationships. Using marriage purely for paperwork feels unfair to both people involved. It’s important to be true to yourself and others.
