what are you waiting for?

It is clear that the backlog grows faster than TSC processes the applications. When people were applying in 2000 the waiting time was, I believe, around a year, correct? In fact these people waited for 3 years. Now it is already around 3 years, so in reality current filers will probably get approved in 6-7 years (based on their current speed, which is actually optimistic, since the number of applications has been growing).

So,are you prepared to wait for 7 years? By that time they will either change the law, or another recession comes in, or something else sure happens to you.

What are you waiting for then?
 
Have you seen the state motto of Oklahoma? Dum spiro; spero, is what it is. It means, "As long as I breathe, I shall hope." Life offers endless obstacles and discouraging stumbling-blocks. One certainty in life that it is full of uncertainty. What are the chances that you or I will die the very next moment we step out on the roads? More than the probability of us getting adjudicated at TSC. So, do we call in for a Requiem Mass in advance and shut ourselves under a coffin? Nope, rather, we are blissfully carrying out our routine chores, under the fond hope that we will get to see another day. We are not "dying" another day, rather we are "living" another day. Right? The same, I guess is applicable for the TSC wait.

Hope dude, Hope! That is one thing, none of us can afford to lose. Let the TSC leviathan be a marathon. We will never be daunted, or at least,we should not lose our hopes.
 
By the time I get approved, I will probably be eligible for early retirement.:rolleyes: This waiting does not sit well with me.

there are ways out

They have ways to live without it.
You can keep living ang working on AP/EAD/ pending 485 status.
You can get adjusted from your country, only disadvantage is to go there for interview. Please not most of the family based cases are done that way.
You can also keep getting H1 extensions.

Hence no problem. Learn to live with the facts.

Assuming you haven't already been here 7 years. as I have. I also was quite content to just sit and wait, until the economy went bad and job security became an issue.

In the US, you will have to entail a few years for "immigration" processing. However, in India, you will have to entail a few reincarnations (if you are blessed with a few...) for "any" processing. So, just hold your horses :D

:D Some states are making progress in that arena of 'birth-control'.

Anyway, I am sure the efforts of a few in this forum would push the folks in TSC to move forward. Until then, let the spirits be not dampened by a few posers. We will get through this stuff, which stinks day by day, with the paltry approvals trickling in.

1. Pending 485 you can get kicked out of the country any minute.

2. Once you chose adjustment you can't switch to consular processing. And the employers do not let you choose consular processing, since they want to keep slaves around longer.

3. You are not reading well. Based on the data of the last 3 years TSC will NEVER approve i-485 that are filed today. NEVER.

Stop deceiving yourself. There is nothing to hope for there.
 
no deception

The very fact that you are paying a visit to this thread in this forum shows that you too have a modicum of hope left within you :p. I can understand your frustration being borne out of exasperation. Are you such a callow that you can willingly allow yourself to be ripped of even the barest and faintest hopes you may have? Let me tell you this. I came to this country in 1997 and almost all of my friends have received their Green-Cards. I am in the same situation as you are. However, to be honest, I haven't given up hopes.

Who knows where I am going to be tomorrow? However, I do know one thing, that I will never give up my hopes on anybody, anytime. Therefore, I don't think this is rhetoric or self-deception, as you have dubbed it, but my birth-trait, your birth-trait. Please don't kill that trait in you.

If you are so smart , so deeply read; understand TSC so well and deeply believe that there is no hope for GC, Why are you still here ?
What you are waiting for ?

I believe most of people in that forum are in US with working visa (H,L). Beside GC applications we still have a job to do, a family to feed,...
Working in US is good experience for my career anyway.

Maybe we should discuss some thing more constructive , more relevant, becaus people visit this forum to facilitate and fight for GC approval.

When I was in India there was a big economic boom in US.
When I came to US there is a big economic boom in India !!
This is life !

So I ask myself : Why am I here ?
I do not get any answers !?

I think 10years from now India will be to US what Chian is now. (At least in terms of the IT Industry)

But then why do I want to stay here.
Waiting for Enlightenment !!

(OXFORD=> Enlightenment: A blessed state in which the individual transcends desire and suffering and attains Nirvana. )
 
Way of Life

This thread has started to sway from frustration to anger to humor to philosophy to spirituality (Enlightenment and Nirvana :) ).

Well, if you can spend just about 5 minutes, you can read this beautiful story that the great Russian Author Leo Tolstoy wrote. Who knows, there may be some answer to each of your quests. That much, I can assure you. Go now: Three Questions by Leo Tolstoy

The story starts thusly: IT once occurred to a certain king, that if he always knew the right time to begin everything; if he knew who were the right people to listen to, and whom to avoid, and, above all, if he always knew what was the most important thing to do, he would never fail in anything he might undertake.
