U.S. Is a Rich Country with Symptoms of a Developing Nation

Naturalization in Europe is restrictive if you measure it across all axes:

- Allow time-based naturalization outside of marriage?

- Allow dual or more citizenship?

CH is on the more restrictive end, but it is one of the few European countries to allow either of the above. If you compare outcomes and hurdles, the U.S. has been more restrictive to foreigners coming in than CH (don’t believe me; tell that the the Canadians I know who moved to CH instead of working for U.S. branches due to U.S. not issuing family reunification visa).

So the question to ask: what do you want? Permit to enter, live, and work; permanent residency; citizenship? Each of these things are different.

And it comes from its Latin name, Confoederatio Helvetica, just to be complete. ;)
