@thakurign I don't buy this argument. Most Indian restaurants have "Chicken Tikka Masala" or "Butter chicken" -- albeit, tasting pathetic. How can people think all Indians are vegetarians after this?

October visa bulletin is out. Indian EB1 final action date is 01/01/17. That means, someone has to wait almost 7 years for GC. Imagine a bright scholar, going for a faculty position -- he/she can't apply for AFOSR/ONR YIP, since he'll run out of time to get a GC.
