Hey Guys (whoever is supporting this thread) / MA_Labor,
Tell me whether i way to worry about this stupid July'07 VB fiasco or not?
I'm in my 8th yr H1B extn now. Came in early 2000. I'd applied my EB3 RIR labor in the Aug 04. Cleared LC in July 05 after a big query (Went thru so many process). At the same time my wife was pregnant and due (first kid) in Aug 04. I applied visitor visa for my inlaws and it got rejected b'cos of a silly reason.
Applied I-140/I485 (concurrent) in Oct 04. My wife got EAD/AP in Dec'05 & i got my EAD/AP in Feb'05 after a RFE (Photos)
We both never used EAD to work. All the time until now we are in and maintaining H1 & H4 status. Suddenly my I-140 got denied (A2P) (totally it's not my fault) & in another 5 months my 6 yrs H1B limit is getting over. So i had to file MTR/Appeal in Oct 05 and based on that i got my 7th H1B extn. Remember now our EADs & APs is invalid. Guess what now 2nd pregnancy (unexpected though) If we get the negative decision from AAO we have to leave US. So, i'd applied PERM in EB2 on April 06 and got it cleared. After that i filed 2nd I-140 based on PERM Labor and thank god now this time it's cleared. My 2nd kid born. So based on my new I-140 i'd applied 3 yrs H1B extn and got the approval recently.
See now after July 07 VB in June...i prepared all the docs for my I-485 and sent to attorney after all these medicals etc.., (spending lot of money for all....i mean for ALL...those who work for blood sucking desi consulting companies know what i meant ALL here). I really upset & frustrated with all these things man...i'm going to see another max 2 years (until my current H1 expires). If i'm not going to get atleast EAD by that time...there is no point staying in this country by having GC dreams. If my average life is 70 years...if i stay here in these conditions i'll surely die in 50 years (only 16 yrs left). You don't know how many places i moved so far (average 1 move for every year) by doing this contract jobs....not able to find time to learn good paying skills. Suck it up man i wonder myself how i got so patience with all these things. Probably marriage & kids & responsibilties being a father...otherwise this is not me...
Last week....since they didn't filed...I-485 i asked lawyer to inquire atleast about my Appeal which is due from very long time...he and my employer now (y'day) that my case got denied at AAO itseems. Comeon guys...please tell me now...whether i shoudn't worry about this July VB fiasco?
I can write more...but stopping now...got to go...for a smoke. fyi: Until now i'd applied 6 H1Bs (in 7 years)...I can't look for good stable permanent job since i'm already out of 6 yrs of H1B & not having EAD. My wife is wasting all her Education since she cannot work from last 5 years. This year she applied for her H1 through some consulting company...her H1 is not selected in the lottery...oh...man i tired of all of these things. So...whatever i'm earning after paying taxes...spending most of it...by leading luxurious life...having one good SUV & good Car and living in apartments forever....i don't have a house....since i can't offord for it and also b'cos of my permanent f***-in* moving...contract jobs.
