Not really. I checked with my employer, and they told me it is at least a 10 year wait for GC, for my case. I'd like to start something of my own, but apparently it is not possible and I don't feel like waiting for a decade (for something that is not guaranteed anyway).
I don't think I am special or valuable. I guess I was lucky to come to U.S, but not lucky enough to stay here all my life.
