My Green Card Experience

[GCwretch]

Dear friends,

Here is a link to a report of my immigration experiences. I have shared in this account my Green card experience and have included some free advice as well.

When you click on the link, it opens a new window. If it gives you the "page not found" error, click on the URL location in your browser and press enter. If that doesn't work, fiddle with it a little like copying and pasting the URL over itself and pressing enter. If it requests permission to open a PDF file, permit it to open.

Sorry for the trouble, but I am a web page novice. I am working on having it posted on a more established site and will post that link if it becomes available.

I request you to pass this along to any one who may be interested in the Green card process in the hope that others have a more informed and speedy passage through the Green card process.

Best Regards and Good Luck in your GC endeavor.

your pdf file

I have had a really bad day and, BTW I made a lot of mistakes on my GC process including the ill fated SFO entry. But i really loved reading your pdf file. I think you have done a great service to the immigrating wannabe community

Good job !

I just loved reading your description. Can relate a lot to it as my GC experience has virtually ruined our family happiness and life. I go it finally in 4 years and 2 months and made the mistake of entering at SFO, so I am now waiting for the plastic card. Hope I will get it in this life.

The main villain in my story is SESA (CA), I applied for GC in Nov 96 and RIR was not even heard of that time. So did go ahead and applied for it. SESA took 2 years and 10 months to send my application to DOL. They lost my papers, sent wrong assessment notice, kept file on shelf for 11 months waiting to send us a notice to place ad, etc. etc.

Only good thing about this whole episode is my company, being a smaller company they helped me tried everything that they could.
