In what way exactly? In most countries the only requirement is to have a work contract. No higher education, no rules that employers must show that they can't find local talent for the position, no limitations on the number of immigrants per year.

I am an immigrant myself (not in the US), the only paper I needed was a work contract. After a year of working I got permanent residence with no further requirements attached, it's no longer tied to having a work contract.



UK for example is rather draconian, I've even seen difficulties for friends who've married Americans and said partners have had to jump through hoops.

From my limited knowledge Canada and Germany have much more rational immigration systems.
