I found this article very much realistic. All I can say is that I had similar life as the opener of this thread revealed . well I have now Green card and six digit job but still life sucks here.I never feel that I ever belong this country. Just work in week days counting the days for weekend.Just I work for Myliving and enjoy the job too but I don't have any emotionational attachement with these Americans. I don't know why?Just at last I would like to say to the opener of this thread "keep going" .I don't know your expectation and academic level but I am sure you will make lot better life compared to these DV folks.Just it is the matter of time.
