about to pull out-a-here

I am seriously considering abandoning all this
BS that I have to put up with to stay here.
I have worked for 2 companies and now working for a 3rd, tolerating all their stupidity to get a bloody GC and make a living in an industry that is stronger here than back home where I come from.

I have put up with BS from Employers taking advantage of my situation, Labor Dept Certifications passing me through an incredibly long process to come up with a title that doesn't even come close to what I do, an economy that
has eliminated all my fellow employees except me
(the unlucky one...), RFEs about issues that
have been proven again and again, fingerprinting over and over again, 2 immigration lawyers who's
priorities are completely opposite of mine....
where does it all f*cking end?

I really am starting to consider that a decade is long enough of an investment without payoff to decide to PULL OUT-A-HERE.

Anybody have anything to say to make me reconsider? No? I need a vacation anyway.


Thank you to whoever is listening. I needed to get all this off my f*** chest.

I guess I can always head back home to find out that my qualifications can be appreciated there too today, a decade later. And maybe buy a house for a change rather than rent, and maybe even consider the possibility of settling down, whatever that means...

Hmmmm... I feel much better already.
 
Welcome to the club, bro .... this is exactly why AC21 was created

BUT

... now get this - apparently INS can deny a case based on the salary being too high now than in the labor for a same/similar job !!!! They expect us to not only not to have a career for 3 years but to stick to the same slave reparations that was in the freaking LC 4 years ago. Damned if you do , damned if you don't

where did you get this info from.

Per my understanding the salary should be >= the salary mentioned on the LC.

Is this some new rule from BCIS ?

Thanks
 
to_close_to_GC : your sentiments are the same as many of us. You are not alone.....

"Welcome to Limbo"
 
to_close_to_GC,
Till we get rid of the greed, the world will be a place filled with anxiety. After the initial euphoria of getting my approval, life moved back to normal again worrying about other things. After all we can all go back and live well can't we.

As per my lawyers, salary should be within a +/- few % points of the LC.

That's gotta be BS! As many years as they are taking to approve cases, how can they expect salaries to not rise especially in high demand areas? I think we are getting 200 different opinions from 20 different lawyers. Fucking morons!
 
Welcome to the club. Almost every body going through the same phase as you. Better take a vaction for 1 or 2 weeks, don't think about any thing. This will help you.

Regarding salary differences, I don't think this should matters.

My labor was approved on x amount right now I am at x+20k. Don't worry about it. Even I have seen lot of cases on this forum approved who's current salary way below than shown.

Take a long brake.
 
Hey, this is a great post. kudos to this guy for speaking his mind. all of us have at some point thought the same thing.....is this all really worth it?
well, frankly, right now, i don't think it is. i think if i had the guts, i would definitely pack up and move back.
in india, we are kings. we can live like we want to, do what we want, have tons of fun. here, we are like sheep, living in fear of layoffs and fear of BCIS.
if more people had the guts to leave, maybe BCIS would realize that the economy of this country is built upon the sweat and toil of the very immigrants they are now tormenting!!!!

Guys this is a wonderful discussion, its all great to go back to motherland and leave a peaceful and secure life. After all the jobs are going to India only that is a good thing at least for Indians. But the problem is different. It is always nice when thinking for working in India for a good company and fat salary. But after all the work environment is not same as US. There you have to work at least 12-16 hours a day including weekends. Also there will be lot of travels in India or international. I know few of my friends who have gone back to India work in very good companies but almost every 2-3 months they come here for short visits leaving their family in India. If you guys have family which I suppose almost everybody does will be a pain in the neck. Just consider.
 
I think our greatest consolation is that we can leave anytime we want and go back to our own country. Most people have stayed here for the rest of their lives with that idea in the back of their minds.
Then they have kids, they buy houses etc. but that idea always stays. Maybe that's what keeps them going in this country. It makes them feel in control, that they can just leave everything and walk out.
 
to_close_to_G, don't be too sure that you won't get any BS working in your home country. Its likely that the work environment and corporate culture in your home country is similar to what you have right now in US.
You will get the same crap there, which you tried to flee from.
Globalization has made everything same everywhere, might be, with some local flavors.
When I talk to my nephew in India, he tells me about Harry Potter and Pokemon. He knows more about US than I do.

Of course, there might be other good reasons for going back, viz. family, friends etc.
