Hey guys
I have a Q for all of you, esp ppl who have gone thru the GC process…...I first came to the US in 2002 thru an India-based company who filed for my H1B for a client project here……after working with them for about a year, I contacted a desi consultancy to get me a job here…….the recruiter there told me that I will have to “improve” my CV and added a few months to my actual work experience(+ 9 months), and also changed my project descriptions to suit the job availability- it basically ended up showing I had a few months more of Java experience than I actually had....i finally got a job with a different company who filed for my H1B transfer using that ‘improved’ CV (which btw was different from the original H1B CV)…
…now here is my Q: I am planning to file my GC thru my current employer and would like to use my real experience and CV (which wd be 9 months less than that shown in the CV used for my H1B transfer, plus some project details being different)……do any of u think there would be any comparison of CVs i.e between the one used for H1B transfer versus for the GC application?…pls remember that the CVs for the original H1B and H1B transfer were also different, but that did not seem to have caused any problem…..some of my friends tell me that the experience letters/CV etc are not checked in a lot of detail even for the GC -esp when it contains out-of-US experience as in my case and that I can use any and it wouldn’t matter much…..but I wanted to check with somebody here who knows these things well….I am aware that this is a less than ideal situation and wish I had not changed anything but at that time the recruiter said I had to do that for him to market me….and ever since then I have wished I hadn’t done it, and that’s why I dont want to use it now…..and I don’t think that improved my chances in any way apart from making me feel guilty since then
Thanks v much and I wd appreciate any of your responses
