We lost our Green Card
We lost a unique opportunity to get a Green Card that would enable me to work in USA and would give us more freedom during travelling (it makes easier to re-enter USA after vacations abroad) and ability to change jobs if needed. I am really angry atm because JBQ won that Green Card application on “lottery” and we had a whole year to prepare. I had my papers done by July but JBQ was really busy at work and so we filed only 17 days before the Sept 30th which is the last day of the fiscal year for Green cards. There is a predetermined number of Green Card application numbers and you must be fast to allocate such a number before these go away. We could have done everything by June-July, which was our lottery’s turn to get processed. But we didn’t for one reason or another.
There is one more, older, green card application pending for us, but it’s not nearly as fast to go through (it will take at least 5 years) or good regarding its terms. This is a major blow to our family. I am really devastated right now. :’-(
