How many of you have case with direct evidence filed with EEOC? I'm wondering how long investigation took for your cases.

Cases with direct evidence would be like "We are terminating you because you are over 40", "You are not getting promoted because you are a male", "Your contract will not be renewed because of your disability" etc. Harm directly tied to your protected class. And have evidence in hand in writing.

Thank you.

I'm an immigrant from overseas. I live in the U.S. with permanent residency.

After I was wrongfully terminated by this 1 company, I had a contract consulting job with a different company, but the contract ended (this time, legally).

I seriously started thinking about moving back home because there is no job that I can get here.

The problem I have is that I'm overqualified for most of the jobs around me. I have 15 years of industry experience, bunch of industry recognized certifications and 2 Master's degrees from universities in the U.S. No local small companies or Safeway would want to hire me. But then large global companies are just reducing headcount.

But I see whole bunch of job postings in my home country because they need experienced professionals who can speak English, which are hard to find for them.

The only fear I have is that I will have to leave my children here in the U.S. behind. They will need to stay with their dad here. But we cannot survive here with 1 income. Everything is so expensive here.

I'm wondering if anyone is having the same dilemma as me.
