S1E2 – While immigration is in our news daily, sometimes the system of legal immigration and its many ins and outs gets overlooked. "Mia" and "Sam" join us on Beyond the Law Immigration podcast to share about their legal immigration journey. Mia and Sam get real about some of the frustrations of a system that has endless paperwork and an extensive waiting list. Applicants can wait years and years in limbo—all the while eagerly awaiting becoming US Citizens. Hosts Woody Scott and James Spokes get the perspectives of Sam and Mia and how their lives are impacted by this process.

Some of the questions answered on the show:

- Are there preferences and biases built into the legal immigration?

- Do H1B1 Visa holders take jobs from Americans?

- How long does it take to become a US Citizen?

- If a Green Card holder has a US Citizen child, does that help them become an American faster?

- What does country of origin have to do with how long it takes to become an American?

- What does an immigration attorney do?
