OP, you should look at it differently. Consider yourself lucky because there is a lot of competition among Asians to come to the US, so you should definitely be grateful. 12 years for. GC is shitty though, but that's a consequence of having too many people trying under the current legislation.

Yup. I said illegal immigrants have a pathway to citizenship, why cant legal immigrants that have been here for x amt of years in US have the same. How is that racist? Illegal immigrants are not a race. I am brown myself.

BA1: The system sucks, but it exists for a reason. No country has a fast, easy path to permanent residency. The US is actually better than most with the EB1 pathway. OP is upset that he/she has to wait so long, but lost my sympathy when he started against "illegals" and said he was being treated like a dog in the other thread. The delay of course being because so many Indians want to migrate here. The system is designed to balance against different countries of origin/ethnicities. That's not racist, but OP seems to have a nasty persecution complex about it.

D6, exactly. BA1 has selective reading mode on since he missed that I am an immigrant too.

P3, you're on to something 😂

deloitte folks. Sorry just to clarify the firm was just a tag as most of us are consultants from big 4 not my intention to identify or slander the firm. The point is the person got his gc through deloitte in 4.5 months and says I should be grateful for being im a better country and wait for 12 years so that there are not many asians here. I just read that the wait is 12 years and feel like shit. I have lived here for 9 years already

Question: if a company starts the GC process for you, can you change job? I don't want to be stuck at consulting

^ A5 puts the A in Accenture and the lame posts too.

D1 haha just curious how old are you, buddy?

^ I thought I was a scrub. Now I'm your buddy. Are you being sarcastic? 🤔

I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
