This is my 100'th post here, to announce the approval of my GC; how fitting. A new digit, a new life.
I received approval emails today; online status also changed. Case details below:

It's ironic that many of us are working on improving performance/efficiency/quality/technology to the highest standards, and yet hampered by such a low efficiency process. Like many of you, I had to work with below-market wages for years, and unable to advance my career. Every dollar I did not earn during the prime of my life, will result in 1 dollar less for my future kid's college fund, and he/she will have to flip a few more burgers at the McDonalds to pay for the textbooks. For that, I blame this beauracracy.
Now that I'm approved, the feeling is so bitter sweet. This reminds me of a story in 1001 Arabian Nights. A genie was imprisoned inside a bottle at the bottom of the ocean. After 500 years, he vowed to reward whoever releases him a huge pot of gold. Another 500 years past. The anxious genie now promised to make his rescuer the richest man in the world. No luck came for 500 more years. He was desperate and pledged to grant his savior an entire kingdom. But centuries after centuries he heard no voice. Out of anger and despair, he sweared to take the life of the one who frees him. Finally after 3000 years, an unlucky fisherman caught the bottle with his net... (any detail of the story I can't remember, I made it up.
)
I can understand how the genie must have felt. But this genie is not in a murderous mood. This genie just donated $50 to the org.
I sincerely thank Rijiv for his litigation efforts and providing this board. Many thanks to Kashmir, desi-bartender, and all other great members at this place. Wish you all speedy approvals. And herhaps, my 1000'th posts here will be to announce my citizenship.....
