I see a lot of my Indian friends who have priority date beyond 2020 and are still optimistic about their chances of a GC. So wanted to hear from folks out there in same situation, Whats the end game here? Do you guys feel you have a realistic chance of a GC in the next 10-15 years? #workvisa #h1b
Mine is 2016 and I don’t have any hopes of a GC in the next 10-15 years.
I don't care. I am here to make money, not to spend my 80s in a retirement home in Florida.
Why retirement homes in India are a lot better?
No healthcare is a lot more cheaper and accessible in India. Anyone who thinks they wouldn't need healthcare is just delulu
As of today, there are close to 1.1M indians in GC queue. GC has a per country cap of 7% i.e. ~6K/year. Unless the law changes, I don't think folks with PD in 2016/17 are getting their GCs in the next 15-20 years, let alone those beyond 2020. Conclusion - No realistic chance of getting GC, make $$ and move back.
You are mistaken. Country cap is not a problem. Scam eb1c gets priority over eb2-3. They steal all gc allocated to eb2-3 thus causing massive backlog and making it worse. We should only give gc to PhD holders with significant contribution in fields (not just any PhD)
Because All those who PDs are in 2012-2017 were mostly fresh off boats IT folks from India and in their late 30s or early 40s now. They will be out of the backlog soon, either be phased out of the industry due to their age or retire or laid off in the upcoming recession
Lol, how do you know
Mine is Jan 2020 EB3 India. I got my GC last year. Because I was married to an American.
USA doesn't give me GC, I departed farther from Indian society norms to connect anymore. So no where to go. Doomed
