"While many workers enter the United States on long-term but temporary visas, such as high skilled H-1B visas, it is often difficult to become a permanent resident because of backlogs, bureaucracy, and lack of protections (such as work authorization) in the interim"
- add incompetence of immigration counsel to that list; if Deloitte's immigration counsel (Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen, & Loewy) had handled my case with a reasonable degree of competence, I would have been done with the Permanent Residency process two years ago. I value the experiences and friendships from Deloitte, but from an immigration standpoint, should have left that Firm after three years instead of five.
I'm now in year 7 since I initiated my Permanent Residency efforts and year 15 since I first came to the US.
