All Sajhaits

Please have patience and keep working hard to get your goal. At least we are lucky that we came here to try hard. Millions of people in the world don't have this opportunity. I have sympathy with wisdom lover what happened with him. I have sympathy and best wishes with all those people who have talent and willing to make difference in their life.

My story was also not much different than you guys when I came here several years back. I had a relatively very good job but I came here to have good life for me and my family. Initialy for so many months I was cursing myself and to all those people who had helped me to come here (even to the counselor who gave me visa). After working two jobs with going school I completed my graduation. That amount of struggle I had never done in back home in my whole student life and carreer.

The real tension starts after graduation here. You have one year to get a job and be secured with H1 B or Greencard otherwise go back to Nepal, Go back to school or Be illegal. I chose shortcut to find job and H1 B (to bring my family here)--to go to Indian IT consultacy. Look what happened with me ....first year almost 6 months I did not get job. When I got the job and after some months I came to know that my H1B was not approved.  I was so depressed at that time. If I had my same job back in Nepal or other job I would prefer to go back. But I was nowhere. So I went back in F1 status for another year. Fortunately same employer filed next year and this time my H1b approved and now I am in project and doing average if not great.  And the best thing is that I am living with my family in USA--the land of dreams. 

The purpose of writing this long story is to help you guys by giving some motivation.  If this helps even a pint I will be very happy.  

Thanks
