Privet again,
Hello Sis Marusia,
It's really nice to have you here, so I can share my thoughts ans ask questions I've had in
my head for a while. I tried to find another discussion board on the I-485 topic with people
who have similar situation to yours and mine. I like this board, but as you noticed, the profile
of people here is quite different from our: most of them are IT people from India and China(?)
and my feeling is that the INS is mindful of I-485 applicants countries of origins or occupation .
In the current political situation it's hardly arguable that a person from Hong Kong (for ex) would most likely get faster approval than someone with the same professional cridentials from the Saudi Arabia.
What do think about us being from Russia ( in my case it's KZ as a country of birth and UA as nationality)?
Am I being paranoic ? Well, I am…everyone who has waited for longer than a year is…
See, the problem I have now is that all of us, I-485 filers, are undergoing a certain psychological transformation
which will leave a mark on our personalities for the rest of our lives. It might sound odd, but that's what it is…
Yesterday I had a call from a recruiter from Manhattan and offered me a really good position which I would take
since I'm really fed up with my current employer ( bear in mind I am a derivative applicant). Then he called back and asked me whether I have a green card. I said " Not today yet, but..." - he wasn't interested anymore.
One can write a lot about this - TBC.
Otherwise I keep in a good spirit; drink wine, play chess, read history books, etc...
My light nervousness is also fueled by all the other current events, such as Iraq, the sniper, the economy, etc…
A komu seichas legko?!
Privet
Russian Ivan ( Konstantin)
