How long is it taking these days to get a green card from the start of EB2 and EB3 process? I live in San Francisco bay area that is full of desis folks with expensive houses. Do all of them have green cards or passports?

Most cannot wait for decades renting apartments and keeping their life on hold. If you have to pack up and go, you can sell your house and take the cash.

Home ownership is a life milestone/major investment. And it’s a big upgrade from living like a bachelor

The insane backlogs for EB2 and EB3 are a relatively new phenomenon. In the early 2000s it was a relatively short wait (5-6 years from what i understand) but started getting ridiculous only around 12-15 years ago. Plenty of people came before then and occupy the expensive houses with the security of a GC /citizenship, and plenty others have a risk tolerance that allows them to do it on a visa

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago. I don't know whether I should explore other tech stacks while I'm young, or instead focus on becoming a Java expert, given that I enjoy working in Java.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

How are you guys thinking about booking appointments for 1st time H1B stamping? Every time I open the site, there are no slots available for 2022. I’m sure majority of you have faced the same. Also, heard that some people have reached out to agents and got their booking done via them. Is that even a safe option? At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?

I just want to say to the Indian managers / SMs etc. stop taking everything so seriously and stressing people out on your teams. I have had managers who put initiative work so high in importance that it stresses me out about client work. Chill out and stop emailing on weekends. Hang out with your families! Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!
