In this period, company laid off 4 times. One former employee (the other Chinese in the company) was caught spying and sent to jail. I was kicked out of the engineering department room, blocked access to lots of rooms and servers in the company, and not allowed to stay in the company alone (This is good. No working overtime.) Company voluntarily declared Export Control Violation to DOC once.
Our HR lady was excited when she heard that my green card application has been approved. She has been waited for 9 years, too. She is planning a party. I am not as excited as her. But I am happy those days are over now.
