I should imagine there are those who take every opportunity to increase their credit limit. Is suspect your lack of zeal in asking for credit line increases is more likely the cause of your lower credit limits than your lack of US citizenship. I did ask for more and got some measly increase. And then I was filling out another application and the amount they offered was so small I told them to close it. Since then I've wised up a bit on this whole credit score game and ignore all offers I am given for new cards. But my score was/is pretty good. I have 3 cards. I have about a third of the total limit on very low interest and reinvested (though am not sure this is really worth the hassle) and the remainder is enough credit for anything I might need to do at short notice.
