What are three good things about America? What are three not so good things? How can you compare your home city in your country to the city you’re living now? Did you have neighbors from different countries compared to now? What do you think of American visa and immigration policies? Have you sponsored for a family member / members to come to this country? How long did it take or will it take for them to get here? Why do you think it takes so long to apply for a family member to come to this country? How can immigration policies be improved?

When the first time I came in the US, I taste many different kinds of food that I like a lot with a lot countries cultural food. Such as, Mexican food, Chinese food, Indian food, American food and soon that tastes good. The other thing is, I saw a different of movies people do in different characters. The weather in the summer is very hot. Sometimes it is hard to control myself when too hot, but I like that hot air as a compare to cold air. In other way, there are bad thing I looked from US. Most people in the US are smokers. And it bothers me a lot around when I go to public areas. Because I am not a smoker guy and I never smoke cigarettes. So many stores serviced junk foods for their customers. When I go there how stops me not to eat, smells good, sweats and a lots of flavors they have it. So why I stop to eat especially I am in hurry I need to go there. We have lots of food in my back home but not the same as the US. I don’t have neighbors in Sacramento that I met, but definitely I believe they are good neighbors. I never did a sponsorship to anyone in the US.

About of the good things in America, I think is comfortable site, the people eat, act and live different from another country. You have better opportunities for a better life independently. Clean water, many places interesting. But I think no so good; the system scholastic, health insurance and system of the welfare.

The United States of America is a great country. It is a good place to start your life. The tree good things about America are: religious freedoms, educational opportunities, and laws to protect rights. But the tree things that are not so good are: the cultures, marriage laws, and the economy. When I compare my home country to the United States, it is very different. My country is much smaller than the United States. The United States has more religious freedoms, educational opportunities, and laws like the right to free speech. We have neighbors from different countries such as China, Thailand, and India. I had never sponsored a family member to come to this country, so I don't know that how long it would take or what is the result would be. However, I believe that it would take a lot of responsibility and a great deal of time. Before my family came to this country, it took my sponsor more than three months to legalize the paperwork. I didn't know it took so long to get someone into this country. Maybe because there are more job opportunities, freedoms or more qualifications that have to be met. I don't know.

I think education, science & technology and transportation are three good things about American. Too many taxes, economic recession, high unemployment are three not so good things in here. The traffic always jam, the weather is too hot, science and technology have not developed that something are can't compare to the city in here. My family lived in an apartment; therefore we have a lot of neighbor from different countries. American visa and immigration policies are very good. It helps us can live and work in here easier but I think the government should changes some laws so it can makes more opportunities for us can get citizenship easier. I have never sponsored for any family because I'm not the citizen U.S. If I'm a citizen so after five years, I can take for them to get here. It takes so long to apply because they need the time to investigate history of us. If they can shorten the period of investigation, the immigration policies will be improving.

First, U.S. has a lot of land offering varieties of climates and scenery. Second, nature is well preserved. Third, compare to Korea cost of living is cheaper in U.S. First, medical cost is too expensive. Second, public transportation is that great from town to town. Third, mixed culture causes racism or stereotyping. Both are cities, but the lifestyle is so different. My home city is only as big as Rocklin, but it was busy like downtown LA. Too many cars and traffic jam was very common. I never had a neighbors from a different country, but now I have neighbors in different race. My husband took care all necessary things regarding immigration, so I am not quite sure about visa and immigration. All I know is it's expensive in my opinion to file any paperwork. I have not done it yet since I am not a U.S citizen yet, but I have a plan to invite sister for a green card when I can. All Korean nationals does not require a visa to visit U.S. so it takes about 30 min to do a visa-waiver paperwork. I think the immigration process for family members takes a while because the USCIS has to review many things such as financial stability Lower cost and faster processing can be a huge improvement.

The three challenges that America has are drugs, lack of jobs, and discrimination.

In my opinion America is a wonderful and blessed country. The first thing that I appreciate here is the freedom. The right to tell your opinion without fear of reprisal is wonderful. I think that the freedom is the most precious gift that a person can have. Another good thing in America is all about freedom, I refer to democracy. The way that the government and the president to are elected by the population is desirable in any country in the world. In this way you feel represented by those elected. Another good side of America is places you can visit. For example, you can find all forms of relief, from the ocean to the mountains. Amusement parks, important buildings, attractions, and recreational opportunities, make America a country that you love. About rules of emigration, I can’t pronounce myself. Really, are very long and very selective and restrictive, but perhaps all this have some reasons. Perhaps security. And I am referring to extensive security, from the security of jobs for U.S. citizens to the country's territorial and political security. There are many reasons why America is a country attractive compared to many other countries. That is why many people try to settle here. In a word, although economic conditions are difficult in these times, I'm glad I chose to live here.

Three good things about America is freedom, opportunities and healthcare. We have the freedom to do as we please and not get in trouble as long as we don’t violate any laws or regulations. If we were in a different country such as Thailand, we would not have a freedom of speech. Here in America, there are many opportunities such as going to school to get a higher education or working. In America, even the least fortunate can go to school because the government offers financial aid. If I was in Thailand, I probably wouldn’t be able to go to school to get a higher education unless I was rich. Lastly, here in America almost everyone can get healthcare. The government here provides healthcare to the poor, but in Thailand, you can only get healthcare if you have the money.

Three things that I like about America is that we can have many opportunities, we can be free to speak our mind, and do almost anything that we want. The worst things about America is that many people are overweight, some people can be rude to foreigners, and there is a lot of poverty. Taiwan and Rocklin are very different since Taiwan was a city while Rocklin is in the countryside. My neighbors are different since Americans act differently than people ion Taiwan. The immigration process is very complicated in America and I’m not sure if my family has sponsored for a visa. I do know that the process is very tedious and difficult. The process and policies can be better if America let more people in and gave them all opportunities.

In America there are many good things. For the first time that, I came to the United States; I was faced with many interesting cases. The first thing that always attracts my attention is that every people in the street and any other public places smile to each other and says hello. It is very beautiful culture. As the second one, how to drive and discipline while driving is very good. And the third one is that, wide variety of different races with different religious live in peace together.

I have lived in America a couple years. I like living here. I also liked living in my country. I think life everywhere is about the same. Despite that the U.S. is a wealthy country; we still have many of the same problems as people in my old country. There is only one bad thing about living here, that is: I don’t have my relatives here. They didn’t want to come here. I have a very important rule for me it is: to always be joyful and thankful to God for all what we have. So I don’t have any thing that I don’t like here or in my county. Maybe I like living in both countries because, I was born in the other country but in America is where my own family and I live.

I have lived in America for eleven months. I think it is a good country. In this country, the government is very concerned about people. There are clean, beautiful cities and very friendly people. If you compare a country where I lived before with this country, you’ll think this country better. I've had, and have neighbors from other countries. My family had a sponsor, when we wanted to go to America. Registration of all documents took about five years. I don't understand why it takes a long time, but I think it is a very important document and therefore so long they do this. In general, I like to live here.

I arrived in the US three years ago. I was very surprised some things here. First, I saw very big and nice roads. Second, in the US are people from all over the world. Third, people here are very nice and polite. Next, the Governments and management are very good here. There work good for people in US. People feel at ease. They have free religion confess and learn to develop their skills. But some things aren’t good for people. There are medicine and car insurance. I think there are cost too mach money. In addition, the US are very free and interesting country. I like to live in the US.
