Nobody is forcing anyone. It's a choice. The system is not perfect, but we still have a choice. Your choice was to stand in the line as a compromise for better life for your family. I'm standing in the same line as you are, and I have the exact same choices. My choice is to leave the US and go back to India - and take all the money back to India, of course - the money that would've been spent in the US. I do agree that some clarity on whether one will get permanent residence or not is better than this suspended animation we are all in today. Even a definitive "no - you have to go back" is better. Edit: Changed "visa" to "permanent residence"
