d1203,

No, your post does not offend me. However, what I mean by 'Que Sara Sara' is that permanent residency will happen if it has to happen; Neither I nor the INS can change this if it is so. I am not willing to go out of my way to get a green card though. If for some reason, it is not to be, then I will move on with few regrets. The loss of the US will be the gain of some other nation, quite possibly the country that I hail from.

The desperation that is evident in some of the posts (thankfully not all) here is, in my opinion, unnecessary. People will of-course, follow what they see as the best course of action given their respective situations, but speaking for myself, this anything-for-a-greencard attitude is rather distasteful, to say the least.

Like you point out, BCIS will be BCIS, but that does not mean that we cannot be ourselves, even if this came at some cost. By the way, I prefer Sankrit.... to Sanskrit; It is perhaps a freudian slip? Just kidding!

I guess we should all have the same attitude. i.e. if it will happen, it'll happen, if not, then hey, the world's a big place, there's always canada or the birth country! From what i hear there are more jobs being created in india than in the u.s.

I'll give you an amusing piece of news related to this........ I found out today that from oct 04, the U.S. dept. of state will not accept the current form of my country's passport. (special registration country)

They have even dictated how a sovereign country's passport has to be in order to enter the U.S. (i.e. certain holographic signature, biometric idetification like fingerprints etc has to be embedded into the passport noticeable by ultraviolet light). I personally found that to be very insulting that the current passport is good enough for the rest of the world but not the U.S. but hey, I chose to study, work, raise a family here so I'll get the new passport once the government issues it.
