PSA: if you have immigrant parents or grand parents you might qualify for citizenship in their countries of origin. Of course, this won’t apply to, nor help most people. In the cases where it does apply, you may need thousands of dollars for acquiring documentation and for application fees. I’m not in any way diminishing the luck or privilege needed to have a chance for a visa in a desireable country nor the resources and work needed to relocate.

Thanks I already talked to immigration lawyers for the country my mom was born in and don't qualify. It's impossible for me to get out unless I win the lottery to buy my way out. This country is a prison.
