2017, far out in the line. Been in the country for several prior. Thinking about it? Yes, every single day. Worried? Perhaps. Can I change anything? Not a single thing. I've accepted my fate. If things go south, I have to and hope to rebuild myself back home.

Same. 2017 PD. I look at this way. Every year I stay here, I am making ~3* more than what I would (net) make in India. And, I can also stay away from family drama between wife, in laws, parents all that.

So, while I am waiting for GC (long way to go), I am not losing much in the short term either.

The dates are moving but yea long journey

Is it something to be worried about? After all these years I don’t know what to do if anything gets screwed up with Poe or extension etc

I mean, it was always a worrying factor. If you are saying that you should be extra worried because of extreme right anti immigration policies…of course.

Ok thanks

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
