yes it is quite common - in fact i know someone whose dad sold some real estate in india ~5Cr and sent him 500k so they filed EB5 ( this was a while back when it was still 500k..) the funny part is as soon as they filed, the dates in the regular EB category started moving and their neighbour got it via the regular donkey line.. goes to show murphy's laws are truely applicable.

The thing is after a certain level it is not always the talent but whom you know decides the career ladder.

When does one reach this level? I am 10+ years in and still depend on leetcode to get raises (by changing jobs).

Hey r2somewhere, nice to see you back. Talking about leetcode, I really hate dynamic nature of the problems and “Dynamic Programming” more. Such problems remind me of my low IQ

Good to be back, was hoping the old forum would be back by now

I also got my GC this year via the donkey route. I am now 100% confident that immigration reform will pass within a year and GC wait times will come down to a few months for everyone. Not against it at all, but this is how the universe works
