You Know What's Silly?

I'll tell you what's silly.  The confusingness (no, that's not a word... but it should be) that is immigration law.

It all varies widely from country to country, and certainly here in the US they make it insanely difficult.  Indeed, my fiance's visa application to come to the US for work is a stack of paper about 2 inches thick.

What's amazing to me, though, is how much the immigration experience seems to vary from person to person in Denmark, even if they seem to be in similar situations.  And because of that, it's difficult to really know what to expect.

From the length of time it will take to get legal residency, to whether or not I can go to school right away or will have to wait, it all seems to differ so widely.

And the wildest thing that I heard today is that it may actually be harder for a Dane to bring his wife and family to Denmark than it will be for my fiance, an EU citizen but non-Dane to bring me there.

Plus, there's the fact that a new government has recently been elected there, so many of the immigration laws are expected to change.  The good news is, it's a left-leaning government so the rules will likely slacken a bit.

Either way, I think I need to resign myself to being royally confused for a while.
