Nothing against OP but why is India getting so Americanised?

These days everything on media just "rocks" rather then being nice, good, brilliant and so forth.

I hope you are successful in your appeal (you should have taken it seriously the first time though).

Is then going to India to have the delivery done, the only option ??

Go for the interview. You have nothing to lose :)

Ask them if they can make it permanent.

What kind of work does it involve. I ask this as I have seen contractors working for non-stop 8 years in contract in some companies.

Your contract may get extended.
