I was catching up with friends and talked about plans for the future when one friend said her husband is applying for a cultural exchange job as a teacher in the states (3–5 yr contract). She mentioned they are planning to eventually move there and have kids who will be American citizens by birth, then they themselves can also become citizens in the future. I was surprised to hear how common this was. Apparently a lot of teachers who joined this program eventually went on to have kids while working there; others have also married Americans.
Is this completely legal?
