Very useful website with chat transcripts with the lawyer - Sheela Murthy to get many of those confusing Green card related questions answered.
I attended a Greencard application info session conducted by my company in conjuction with a law firm and found it highly confusing and ridiculous,when I heard all those different kinda of numbers..the i-140 application..the i-485..the 1-94 and whatnot.Also,at the end of the long session,it felt so bad and irritating to realise how ridiculous the system is and how backlogged the applications are.
But then,there never seems to be a decrease in interest to gain greencards and people seem to go to any lengths to apply for one and are ready to even wait for almost a decade to get hold of one.Although many of my cousins and relatives have got Greencards/citizenship in the last decade,the real challenge,I feel is for people in this era when the competition is very high,the quotas are all maxed out and the laws are getting stricter.
I just can't imagine how a person would feel,at the end of the entire ordeal,when he gets his greencard approved.Now I understand the reason behind movies such as Greencard fever showing people going to great heights and taking desperate measures to get one.
Sometimes it makes me think..."Is it all really worth the ordeal?". A country that wants international citizens to work for it and develop it all their life,to call itself the greatest nation in the world ,but is hellbent on treating them like shit and not open to accepting them as their own?

They would accept them as their own if only the damn aliens tried to act like they were one of their own. :)

You keep cursing America and everything American... you talk as if Greencard, H1B is all shit... but, why do you continue staying here and keep on moving on the beaten path? If you were to talk all this after leaving the US, you would at least get some respect for whatever you say...
