Hi
I read quite a few postings on the issue, but could not find an answer to a specific issue we have. I wander if anyone can answer this one.
My wife was sponsored for GC (I was her dependant). She started working for her sponsor 2.5 years ago, and has no "intent" of leaving it. We got the GC on Nov/2004. The problem is that lately, her managers started discriminating her. This is not an ethnic or religion issue, we actually don't know why she is discriminated. She was supposed to be trained in certain areas, so she could advance in her job, which is a normal procedure at her workplace, and usually there is a FIFO order, that is "first in first out". My wife was not getting the training as she was supposed to, but she never got any reasonable answer why that is.
My wife is a very good employee according to the employer standards. Her annual reviews are very good; she got raises on both annual reviews she had. She is not a bad employee, so there are no “reasonable” reasons for the managers to do so.
We are in a pickle. My wife does not want to leave her job, because:
1. She is still thankful for sponsoring our GC, which was a fairly big issue for us.
2. We don't want to risk neither the GC nor the future naturalization.
There is no paper trail we can use. It is even hard to prove anything because it is all hearsay.
So, the options I see are:
1. Bite the bullet, stay for a year from the GC date and then look for a job.
2. Create a paper trail by filing a discrimination law suit. As I said, it will probably be hard to prove and support.
3. Leave now, and if the USCIS questions this, just explain what the situation was and hope it would be all right (I know, not my favorite option either).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Rami
