Default Anyone Tired?

Hi
This is my first post so please bear with me. I have been silent in these forums for some time now. My intention in this post is not to offer any advice etc but its only intended of what I am feeling after the Feb visa bulletin and whether there are other people sharing the same feeling. I have been in this process since 2001. Got screwed by company once (after about two years) and had to change company so started all over again. Luckily new company was good. Though they dont pay for any GC expense lawyer was good and got PD 2004. Last year after seeing VBs had hopes of getting out of this soon. But now Feb VB bulletin has provideed really depressing news. At this stage its very depressing. I am thinking my "living the american dream" will be a dream only. With upcoming elections who knows what will happen. IV seems to be the only hope now.
Dispatched letters today to IV California and President.
Jack

Jack,
Join your local state chapter and get more involved with IV activities. Also there was a post few days back requesting for 10 compelling stories, why don't you give yours?

Thanks,
Gary

How long is your I-485 pending? Ever thought about suing the USCIS? This is still the country of law.

Rajiv Khanna has gone on record about suing USCIS, he says majority of cases don't even get a hearing. Govt uses some kind of a law originally created for handling terror suspects against most of the cases against USCIS. How ever he says California is an exception

I cant. I have no money after paying for school, lawyers fees in GC. As I said my company did not pay a dime for getting GC work done. Had to bear all expenses myself. Dont even know whether company will pay for H1 renewal next year.

True. Its just a dream. You work on something for 20 years and get a GC at 45. What are you getting after that. Just continue your dream for another 20 to 30 years and call it a day.

If you get it by 25, you have some years to go hit something for your life.

I stopped worrying on GC and started living on tasks that help my family. I have a job now. If lost, I will go for another job and another and another in India/Europe/Australia/so and so. But surely not going to die or go to hospital for depression.

Do it yourself, like I did. It will cost you $350+mailing expenses. You can find many victories on our forum. It works.
