>You should retire, really :). It took you so long to get to the issue of my status - I expected it'd happen long ago. Your reflexes are not as they were...

>No, no citizenship yet, I fell through in one of those cracks in the law. With a H-1B, with the addition made in October 2000, if you switch jobs, you go back to square one with the process. It was designed to keep the H-1Bers competitive, i.e. not the indentured slavery as they were characterized before that, but also to make them more temporary. In my case, I wasn't changing jobs to make any advances - it was the dot-com bubble burst that either tanked my employers, or there just wasn't enough work or money. So my process was restarted four times, and INS is getting progressively slower and sloppier and more expensive each time. So, who knows how many years... I may even retire before that.

Oh I wasn't trying to denegrate you. I was just wondering what your take was on all this since I knew you were having to do battle with our illustrious government and the red tape. I thought the illegals might tick you off since you are going through the legal process and they are skirting it. I wasn't going to send INS after you!<g>

PS, I'm still on my game!
