Folks,

Looks like things are not moving forward with GC process and we need the encouragement again to hang tight.

Have patience, we survive so far and we are going to live the future with fullest of our dreams.
It may come late thought.

Just my thought-
With EAD & AP in my hand I am as good as GC,
I can travel and change the job also more motivated to work to survive. What else ???

Just think about it you can do all with EAD as well,
(except buying a home, i would not advice.
You can move with your job at least)

Do not worry too much, live your life happily.

Relax, have a good drink of your choice, or a nice meal, or a good movie or just walk and wonder about mother nature..
 
Rene2ram ,

It is not any excitement, and I am on my second EAD.

This situation is out of our contol-

I am not sure if I will get the GC in next one year-

There are two options-

Either burn down with this stress, or mange the situation with the best possible options.

Vacation has nothing to do with EAD or GC, it is all on circumstances.

If you think you will be free from the job tensions after GC than it is a mistake. You are more in trap day by day as resposibilities are going up.

Again it is my thinking, it may not apply to everyone.

Good thinking waitinNJ

Well said , I guess worrying now is just like paying interest for a future loan. As you said have your favourite drink or meal and spend time with your family instead of feeling down waitin for GC.

waitnnj......

your thinking applies to me too!

As I tell myself each day-" It's a sin to worry, it's a lack of trust in God"

You are thinking in the right direction.

We made the mistake last June by buying a home here. At that time, things were moving pretty good. We were hoping to get our GC by Jan or Feb 2003. March at the latest. What irony!

Now since both I and my spouse are working, we have double the stress everytime the stock market (my client is an Investment Management firm) goes down. So far, so good.

The thought of looking for a job if the hammer comes down, gives me the jitters (and some headaches and some grey hairs .....).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I can understand your frustation, We all have to manage our situation and keep all the options open.

These are all challanges of life, we can not run away.
Face it , accept it, and don't ever think why it is me...
We are at least more forunate than billions of other people on earth.

8yearsus,
My advice is - Take short vacation if you can sense that things may not go wrong.
I kept delaying things last year just because of the mindset of "After GC..."


There are still folks struggling with H1B and there are not many options with them.
At least EAD give us flexibility.
1) We are always in status (working or not working)
2) We can change job/employer/location
3) Spouse can work to support financially
4) Travel on AP is no problem

So friends... I know it is tough, but let the GC stress be minimum and keep yourself healthy for your Greener days!!!
