You're lucky. I had 8+ years of work experience and nobody would call me coz I was on an H1b visa. Got my Green card and got 4 job offers within 4 weeks. Lol. I do not know how I survived that visa phase. Although the market is tough right now compared to an year ago. Hang in there. Also, don't look down on the contractual positions with the Indian service IT companies. The work culture needs getting used to, but you get to learn a lot and work with some big names and just a few years of experience matters a whole lot in getting ahead.

Thanks for sharing!
