Don’t you think that sounds ridiculous? What’s the point of life...if you cannot enjoy and do what you want to do?

I understand family, salary etc could bind you to it...but, look at the bigger picture and what you are accomplishing by sticking to your pathetic situation? For whom are you doing this? Be the man/woman..you want to be! Else, when you are retire and look back...there wouldn’t be any pleasant memories to cherish..

Agreed. It is easier said than done, but really, just like your debt situation, your mindset needs to change too. I would suggest paying off your debt and moving to another country anyway. Let’s face it, you are gonna work super hard wherever you go, you might as well work in a country where you can get “rewarded” with a PR in 5 years; like a ROI. Your experience in USA will help you wherever you go. You must have started from scratch, when you came here, set your mind up be up for it again.

I would’ve too! The wait just sucks

Need advise, same situation as yours, no career growth but do you think having a offer and asking for a promotion with current management will help? My sticking point is CPA but with news relax this year I can be promoted to manager with EA but local leadership isn’t enthusiastic about it but my counselor wants my case to be made. Such a worse situation, can’t think of.
