Prisoners to the Processing Dates Paradox - EB3 Retrogresses in May 2009

Retrogression - Sounds like some mathematical concept (from regression, may be..)…But those of us that are prisoners to the immigration craziness in the US know that its not. In fact, it doesn’t seem to reflect any logic. Whether it’s the July 2007 sudden change in cut-off dates, or the H1-B caps that closed in 1 and 2 days [...]

The Country’s Apathy towards its Immigrants

**** This post was contributed by em. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Em. *******
Hi,
Today I am writing because I feel very low and lost. I had tried coming up and working with representatives on some sort of arrangement to expedite Immigration to US.  However, nothing is paning out right.
Maybe today I’d like to [...]

Moving to San Diego using AC21

I haven’t posted on this blog in weeks now. Too busy with tons of things going on in my personal and professional lives I guess. Professionally, I took up a job in San Diego, CA. I am excited about the move. It was a difficult decision because I am going from being a generalist to a [...]

CNBC airs debate - lay off H1Bs first?

This is turning out to be more and more of a heated debate. I am hearing about this from friends and co-workers and of course, being an immigrant, only my closest friends actually reveal their real opinions to me. One of my co-worker friends, an American, thinks it’s a no-brainer that H1Bs should be laid [...]

Offshore Outsourcing - Good or Bad?

Most immigrants that I know that came to the country on H1B’s or other visas are on tech jobs. These are
usually jobs related to the IT in industries such as Software development, Manufacturing, Health Care, Etc. Some of them were originally working for (or still work for) companies such as Infosys or TCS in India [...]

An Immigrant’s Story - Part 1 - The first time..

Most of the readers and authors of this blog are immigrants to the US. We all have a story, don’t we? The idea
that United States is the land of opportunity and education/work there is something I should aim for, was planted quite early on in my head. My parents regularly pointed out other kids that [...]

Processing dates delay in December and other recent news

More wait…that familiar thing…Usually each month, the USCIS releases new processing dates for its service centers between 15th and 20th of the month. This month, it’s 23rd already and no processing dates yet. It’s a different matter that we don’t really believe their processing dates, but it’s sort of this monthly routine now and they [...]

Some new stuff @ endlesswait.com

It’s been crazy the last few days, finally decided to delay dinner to find the time to blog tonight! Got the new Rules for posting at Endlesswait.com added to the Invitation page. Added some instructions for posting on the blog to that same page as well. And installed a Wordpress plugin that allows the administrators [...]

A quick note about posting on endlesswait.com

In the last few days, I’ve received several inquiries from Law firms about posting on Endlesswait.com. Some have also registered and made posts on the blog. Though I am flattered, this means that we are going to need some rules and some changes.
Until now, the default status of anyone registering at this site was an [...]

How cool is it to write for money?

A few months ago when I started this blog, it was primarily for the purpose of connecting with other fellow immigrants and writing about my thoughts on this topic. The goal was to bring like-minded immigrants together and hopefully create a resource that we could all use and to voice our opinions against the the [...]
