Ok, let me get your advice, just for fun. I never took it; I’m a SAHM and at the time I had a 16 month old and a newborn. My husband never wanted a green card (he’s Bulgarian) and dragged his ass because he dislikes the USA. Finally, during Covid, he got started. Not soon enough; his job required the shot. (Green card=options. He works for an international company which services Americans in an extremely niche sector.) I insisted he not take it; I spend time online, he spends absolutely ZERO time online so he thought I was being horrmonal and postpartum-ey. Were he to lose this job, he’d lose the B12 Visas which let him see his family. (Not his fault for dragging his ass on the green card; he wanted to wait until he had good reasons.) He’d also lose the money which was paying our mortgage, our food, our bills. What would you have done, practically, that would have enabled your family to stay afloat. (Honest question; I’m curious to hear what I hadn’t thought of so that I can more in my arsenal of ideas is this happens again.)
That hard situation for sure. I dont know what I would have done. All I can say is I stood where I work and would have lost everything I refused to comply. I was set to be fired on Jan 19, 2022. They pulled back on their policies a few weeks prior and I wasnt fired. But as far as I knew I was going to be fired so thats all I can say to that.
You don’t get citizenship by default. It makes the process easier but it’s not a default given. You still have to apply for it and jump through all of the hoops.
What was his reasoning for postponing the green card? I can think of reasons that a person might want to postpone a citizenship application, such as that he thinks that the USA hasn’t yet earned his sword, but a green card isn’t a pledge of loyalty like citizenship is. The green card is more benefits for not much more commitment. Like you say, more options.
To answer your question about what I would have done: I would have never taken the demon semen even if the commies followed through on a threat to shoot me dead and prevented me from earning any money ever again. Would my refusal prevent the family from staying afloat? I don’t know for sure because I don’t know the family’s finances, but I doubt it. In some ways, money is an illusion like time.
He didn’t want to pay American taxes. He dislikes the cost of living, all of the driving, the “diversity” the “plastic” houses, the limitations. He’s decided to just do it because of the pandemic but we still spend most of our time in Bulgaria.
I mean…sure money is an illusion. Without it, though, your kids don’t have a house…and that is, unfortunately, very real.
He wasn’t on a work visa. He doesn’t work in the USA. He works for an international company that caters to Americans, as stated. He passes through the USA and is permitted prolonged stays because he has a B12 or some shit. I can’t remember what it’s called.

He had the visas for work. Without the job - no visa.

People on work visas who reside in the US are expected to pay income tax. The tax burden doesn’t start when a person gets a green card.
