Para quienes estamos atrapados en sistemas burocr\u00e1ticos de pesadilla (libertad condicional, libertad vigilada, tribunales o inmigraci\u00f3n), las reglas pueden ser casi imposibles de entender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Algunos estadounidenses creen que los inmigrantes deber\u00edan simplemente seguir las reglas. Si no pueden hacerlo, son &quot;ilegales&quot; y no merecen la ciudadan\u00eda. Pero la mayor\u00eda de estos estadounidenses no comprenden lo dif\u00edcil que es seguir las reglas del sistema migratorio. Ya sea que estas reglas sean deliberadamente complicadas o simplemente desconozcan los desaf\u00edos de navegar por un sistema, muchas personas que desean inmigrar y seguir las reglas pueden encontrar el proceso abrumadoramente dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aqu\u00ed les comparto parte de la historia de Cory Doctorow. Es escritor, un inmigrante angloparlante adinerado que se nacionaliz\u00f3 en 2022.  <a href=\"https:\/\/pluralistic.net\/2026\/02\/06\/doge-ball\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/pluralistic.net\/2026\/02\/06\/doge-ball\/\">Su historia completa<\/a> est\u00e1 en su sitio web, <a href=\"https:\/\/pluralistic.net\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/pluralistic.net\">Pluralista<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>La v\u00eda t\u00edpica para obtener visas de trabajo en EE. UU. y, finalmente, inmigrar es a trav\u00e9s de un empleador corporativo, que paga al bufete de abogados en su nombre (y tambi\u00e9n vincula su residencia a su empleo, lo que hace que sea arriesgado y costoso renunciar a su trabajo). Encontr\u00e9 a mis propios abogados de inmigraci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s del esposo de una amiga que trabajaba en un prestigioso banco de inversi\u00f3n. A lo largo de los a\u00f1os, muchas veces tuve que recordarles a mis abogados que...\u00a0<em>I<\/em>\u00a0Les estaba pagando a ellos, no a mi empleador, y que yo\u00a0<em>no<\/em>\u00a0Tengo un asistente administrativo, as\u00ed que cuando me dieron 48 horas de aviso para reunir 300 p\u00e1ginas de documentaci\u00f3n (\u00a1esto pas\u00f3 varias veces!), signific\u00f3 que\u00a0<em>I<\/em>\u00a0Tuve que dejarlo todo (es decir, las actividades que me permit\u00edan pagar sus gigantescas facturas) para cumplir con sus peticiones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al tratar con las autoridades de inmigraci\u00f3n estadounidenses, todo se pone en la cuerda floja. Cada paso de cada proceso \u2014visa de trabajo, tarjeta verde, ciudadan\u00eda\u2014 implica formularios que usted firma, bajo pena de perjurio, certificando que no ha cometido errores ni omisiones. Un solo error constituye una posible falsificaci\u00f3n de su documentaci\u00f3n y puede resultar en la deportaci\u00f3n: perder su trabajo, su casa, la educaci\u00f3n de sus hijos, todo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esto significa que, en cada etapa, debes ser lo m\u00e1s exhaustivo posible. Esta es una foto de mi segunda solicitud de visa O-1 (\u201cExtranjero con Habilidades Extraordinarias\u201d).

En ese momento, pens\u00e9 que el proceso hab\u00eda terminado. Pero entonces mi hija solicit\u00f3 ingreso a la universidad y le dijeron que deb\u00eda inscribirse en la FASFA, que es el proceso federal de pr\u00e9stamos y becas estudiantiles; sac\u00f3 muy buenas calificaciones y exist\u00eda la posibilidad de que le descontaran un par de miles de d\u00f3lares de la matr\u00edcula. Me pareci\u00f3 una buena idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\u00ed que completamos la solicitud de FASFA y, a mitad de camino, nos pregunta si somos ciudadanos naturalizados y, si lo somos, nos pide que subamos una copia de nuestro certificado de ciudadan\u00eda. Mi esposa y yo tenemos certificados, pero mi hija no. Se naturaliz\u00f3 junto con mi esposa en 2021, y aunque el certificado de mi esposa fue suficiente para que nuestra hija obtuviera un pasaporte, no tiene el nombre de la ni\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult\u00e9 con nuestros abogados y me dijeron que la joven no podr\u00eda obtener su certificado de ciudadan\u00eda hasta que cumpliera 18 a\u00f1os, lo cual cumpli\u00f3 el martes pasado. Mi calendario me record\u00f3 que era hora de llenar su N-600, el formulario para solicitar el certificado de ciudadan\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\u00ed que ayer me sent\u00e9 frente a la computadora, despej\u00e9 un par de horas y me puse a trabajar. Estoy acostumbrada a las complicadas preguntas burocr\u00e1ticas sobre este tipo de papeleo, y confieso que siento una peque\u00f1a satisfacci\u00f3n cada vez que logro sacar a relucir un documento confuso que exige el formulario. Por ejemplo: pude encontrar el n\u00famero de pasaporte que us\u00f3 nuestra hija para entrar al pa\u00eds en 2015, junto con el n\u00famero y la fecha del vuelo. Pude consultar todos los documentos.&nbsp;<em>tres<\/em>&nbsp;de los n\u00fameros que el servicio de inmigraci\u00f3n de Estados Unidos asign\u00f3 a mi esposa&nbsp;<em>y<\/em>&nbsp;a m\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Y luego, despu\u00e9s de unas dos horas de proceso, llegu\u00e9 a esta secci\u00f3n del formulario: &quot;Presencia f\u00edsica de la madre o el padre ciudadano estadounidense&quot;. Esta secci\u00f3n me exige enumerar todos los cruces fronterizos que hice hacia EE. UU.&nbsp;<em>Desde el d\u00eda en que nac\u00ed hasta la fecha en que me convert\u00ed en ciudadano<\/em>. Eso incluye, por ejemplo, cuando ten\u00eda dos a\u00f1os y mis padres me llevaron a Fort Lauderdale a visitar a mis abuelos jubilados. Esta pregunta viene despu\u00e9s de una evaluaci\u00f3n donde usted declara que no cometer\u00e1 ninguna omisi\u00f3n ni error, y que cualquier omisi\u00f3n o error ser\u00e1 tratado como un intento de defraudar al sistema de inmigraci\u00f3n estadounidense, con las sanciones m\u00e1s severas imaginables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intent\u00e9 llamar a la l\u00ednea de informaci\u00f3n del servicio de inmigraci\u00f3n de EE. UU. Ahora est\u00e1 atendida exclusivamente por un chatbot de IA (gracias, Elon). Intent\u00e9 una docena de veces que el chatbot me pusiera al tel\u00e9fono con una persona que pudiera confirmarme qu\u00e9 deb\u00eda hacer con respecto a las visitas a EE. UU. que realic\u00e9 hace m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os, cuando ten\u00eda dos. Pero el chatbot solo me ofreci\u00f3 enviarme un enlace al formulario en l\u00ednea, que no contiene ninguna orientaci\u00f3n al respecto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luego prob\u00e9 el chat en l\u00ednea, que es&nbsp;<em>tambi\u00e9n<\/em>&nbsp;Respondido por un chatbot. Este chatbot solo permite hacer preguntas de menos de 80 caracteres. Finalmente, logr\u00e9 reconstruir una conversaci\u00f3n completa con el chatbot que transmit\u00eda mi pregunta y me proporcion\u00f3 un enlace al mismo formulario en l\u00ednea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pero ah\u00ed&nbsp;<em>es<\/em>&nbsp;Una opci\u00f3n para escalar el chat en l\u00ednea de un bot a una persona. Lo intent\u00e9 y, tras pedirme repetidamente mi nombre completo y direcci\u00f3n (domicilio y direcci\u00f3n postal), fecha de nacimiento y n\u00famero de tel\u00e9fono, y tras desconectarme por no escribir todo con la suficiente rapidez, la persona finalmente me pidi\u00f3 que consultara con un abogado de inmigraci\u00f3n y cerr\u00f3 el chat antes de que pudiera responder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Para que quede claro: esto es&nbsp;<em>inmigraci\u00f3n en la configuraci\u00f3n m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil<\/em>.

Imagina que tus padres te trajeron a Estados Unidos hace 60 a\u00f1os y que has sido ciudadano durante m\u00e1s de medio siglo, pero te dicen que debes llevar contigo tu certificado de ciudadan\u00eda si no quieres que te disparen en la cara o te secuestren para que te lleven a un campo de trabajos forzados. Tus padres, fallecidos hace tiempo, nunca te consiguieron ese certificado, as\u00ed que creas una identificaci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea con el servicio de inmigraci\u00f3n e intentas completar el formulario N-600. \u00bfSabes la fecha y el n\u00famero de vuelo del avi\u00f3n en el que volaste a Estados Unidos cuando ten\u00edas tres a\u00f1os? \u00bfSabes el n\u00famero de tu pasaporte de entonces? \u00bfTienes los tres identificadores num\u00e9ricos de inmigraci\u00f3n de cada uno de tus padres fallecidos? \u00bfPuedes recuperar las fechas de cada cruce de frontera que hicieron tus padres hacia Estados Unidos desde el d\u00eda en que nacieron hasta el d\u00eda en que se convirtieron en ciudadanos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cualquiera que diga que \u201clos inmigrantes deber\u00edan simplemente seguir las reglas\u201d no comprende el hecho de que&nbsp;<em>Las reglas son imposibles de seguir<\/em>. Puedo hacerlo&nbsp;<em>Kafka de lujo<\/em>, la versi\u00f3n de clase ejecutiva de la inmigraci\u00f3n estadounidense de Kafka, donde puedes abordar primero y picar algo de un plato de nueces calientes mientras todos los dem\u00e1s pasan a tu lado, y yo he&nbsp;<em>rendido<\/em>&nbsp;Para obtener el certificado de ciudadan\u00eda de mi hija.
