Can we change this from Desi consultants bowl to Visa questions bowls. No offense to anyone but would like to talk about something other then Visa status.

If your intention was to have something that doesn't revolve around visa questions, contribute to the thread to make it so.

You need to know something about the visa process to know why it's a big deal here. The green card process is by nationality which means that Indians face a much bigger task in getting one. If you were Nigerian you'd get one in 3-4 years vs waiting 12-15 years as an Indian. I feel like this is the reason why it's such a major issue on this bowl because that's what's on everyone's mind.

I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything. I'm just trying to let people know why people complain about visa issues. The fact is there are other things that bring desis together and I'd love to talk more about that as well. Tell me, what do you want to talk about? I'll engage and so will these other "fobs".

If you are suggesting that we create new bowl for visa then it will be really waste..people who have went through same situation but got everything sorted will not join and hence there will be no questions answered..it

Look I'm not trying single anyone out or anything. My intention were to purely have something that does revolve around visa questions 24/7. D1 made a good point and I see where he is comming from.

D2 THANKS FOR CONTRIBUTING, NOW GET THE FUCK OUT AND START A VISA QUESTIONS BOWL.

The rest of you all I'm saying that not all Desi's have visa issues and most likely won't be able to help with any visa related question. Why not start a visa/immigration form as other nationalities might also face similar situation as you, by talking about it in this bowl your only limiting your experience to what other desis have experienced. F you start a bowl you'll probably have a bigger network with people from different background and it'll be more useful.

So sick of the visa bs

Several people have. Just wait for the "if you wanna talk about something else post it" trolls.

Talk about visas if you want but don't call a spade a club. This group is a visa chat

OP is the kind of person who doesn't know how to contribute anything meaningful to a discussion. If you did, honestly you would start something. You have rights too bro!

^ D2's on point. 4 choices here: talk about visas, start a topic about something you're interested in, just observe/leave the group, or complain about the lack of topics that interest you. Which one is the least productive?
