I appreciate your effort and I am just sharing a piece of information I have, in the hope that it will help you strategies a good plan of action. I don't mean to discourage you with my comments.

I was speaking to an Indian guy who now has is US passport & good job in NYC. He came to US on an on-site assignment with TCS. He said that this is how TCS & all Indian companies work, IT companies in general.

When hiring fresh graduate(beginning) in India, the first requirement to start working is a passport. Then the chance of on-site is the carrot that they (company) uses to squeeze. If the managers sense that you are close to giving your papers to resign, they will say that you are in the top list. Plus these companies flood the h1b system with applications of all their employees. Basically the companies need a carrot to whip the employee and the ultimate is a green card, after which the employees are free and is a matter of time before they quit. If you are that valuable to them, then you they pay you well to keep you. So, the companies do everything to delay the green card process.

So, this is the system that he gamed to get his freedom and now his brother is close to getting his green card at Infosys.

This is the game.
