"They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

haha true

[@creative2z]

For Indian, It was actually true. American dream actually exists. People who went to US in 2000 or before that, they actually earned and saved good money. If They decided to stay in US, at that time it was very much possible to get GC and Citizenship in 5-10 years. Even if they decided to come back to India, they own 3-5 flats and have good investments as in 2000 expenditure in India and US both were less. Point is they are very successful. Now its not even possible to live in city like New Jersey, Boston or California with Family with one person earning. Rent and other expenditures are too high. There are much between opportunities in India to pursue. But I guess worst thing in USA for Indians at this time is Uncertainty. Petition for extension, visa are all getting rejected. You have to pack everything in 2-4 weeks and leave USA.

I am living in US for 18 years now and still without green card. Of course , I have to blame myself for some bad decisions during this time. Having said that, you painted an accurate picture of what it is like and what expectations one should have before coming here. When I tried to explain this to my younger cousins in India, they took it as discouragement.

[@indobrit4999]

Craze of working abroad is what fascinates Indian parents and kids , when parents brag their kid is in the US, they feel proud and at the same time egoistic , I was tired of listening to these taunts and left my home for Masters in the UK seriously if you are not a NRI finding a good girl is hard according to Indian society, Indians will never get out of their age old caste mentality upper and lower keep pushing the gap and now they give weightage to money and status

Thanks for the clear explanation sir. This is the most important thing and nobody talks about the other side so clearly.

[@quest4light68]

I have friends who returned back due to same details mentioned here. Another aspect which somehow seems deliberate and overlooked is that the system is left this way intentionally perhaps. More no. of applicants lead to more F1 fees and also more revenue for the colleges and local economies like rental apartments or grocery and so on. Moreover it seems the vast majority of the consulting IT companies exploit the H1 B employees by keeping them in a loop. It's a win win for govt , universities and such American and desi consulting firms which take advantage of this situation. I am not referring to the people who did MS or PHD from reputed univs and working with fair US companies. But such F1 students and H1 are by far very less .

[@newsgroupsdata]

Very important for aspiring students from India to see this video before taking the entrance exams. Thank you for making this video covering the critical points.

[@TK-wp3iw]

very true...my relatives are green card holders but they applied in late 1990s and early 2000s thats why they got the green card because back then their was a competition but not as high as todays so simply they got settled down in the us but now as you said the typical american dream which is to settle down in us is changed for sure time is over to get us citizenship for normal aplicants. (my most of the relatives did Phd just like you thats why they were one step ahead to get a job at that time and also some of them are University professors just like you and yes Phd is not everyones cup of tea so mad respect for you and such people)

[@Californiadesi]

I was told by an insider, that the IT guys make 65,000 a year for working 12-hours a day, 6 days a week. The American citizen doing the same job in the same office for 8 hours a day for 5 days makes $ 190,000 a year. Besides they watch Indians like a hawk to make sure that they are working. If they go to rest room ,a security guard goes with them to make sure ,they don't spend too much time in the bathroom. The salaries in India are getting better and continue to rise. I am told you can get $ 65,000 a year there, With low cost of living in India that goes a long way. Besides you are in your own country and are not facing racist stares and slurs like in USA. .

Means 0 investment from Inidan side because company used to sponser visa etc., But now the Education LOan Mafia of US made this trend of Study+work+GC method to suck the foreign money via education. Earlier only eligible used to go. Now all affordable dumbs are going to pour Indian money into that so called US education and dreaming Interracial SEx during college. [im not saying it Robert Kiosaki said it, colleges provides entertainment n Sex]. So if at all they get it plenty also there Indians wont get job in PornHub because they cant compete with BBC guys from African nations.

[@shivanishanxyz7469]

Very true sir ! U have covered almost all imp topics here. Thank u for your insight sir. Some that many never realize or imagine : 1.To survive in USA Students from India must be proactive , independent and be ready for diy works which when compared to India all are pampered. College fee seems too much of lifetime cost of hard earned Indian currency. 2. H1B and all visa extension costs are so much along with attorney fee that almost u shell out some savings from pocket to just keep staying in USA. 3. Two kinds of job for IT prof contract basis and permanent. Salary , allowances differ according to that. U r never paid the same as Americans. In contract unless u get best salary saving is a challenge and a slow process till u get green card. Sometimes the savings will go off in one trip to India. If couples are both working it adds good savings. This is a reason why people visit India once in two to 3 years. If lucky flight cost can be cheaper. 4. When u r new to USA remember u are starting ur life from the scratch in USA. First one to two years will go in just settling down that too with most necessary things needed for family running. Just bcas of visa issues and uncertainty all the time mostly until green card is applied and I140 is received many don’t try to live luxuriously at all . Because saving is the foremost priority for the first 6 years of H1b. Mostly people plan not to spend like in India ,though some do. 5. Unless u r in cool US based IT company Mostly all indian based companies have same work ethic like in India. Too much work pressure. You shud be ready to update new tech with this work pressure. 6. H4 visa the dependent of H1b cannot work or get salary in any form until they get EAD ( employment authorization document) . So he or she who is on H4 be prepared to wait for at least 1 year or more to get EAD and goto work. 7. In USA every thing is “do it yourself “ Tough for all homemakers. 8. The way kids learn is different. Mostly parents have to go through videos , learn and then teach kids. We may not teach the same method of math we learned in our school days. 9. Medical bill , medical Insurance costs very skyrocketing high here. U goto hospital based on appointment. Appointments u get at least within 1 week or 2. Sat sun doctors don’t work. If any emergency health pblm or kids fall sick suddenly or fall down going to emergency is the only way out. 10. Every state is USA has extreme weather conditions except few may be. Either too rainy, too hot , too cold , too much snow , too dry deserty etc. Not all states are high with IT companies. Every state is expensive and inexpensive in its own way. Choosing the best city according to opportunity/ salary / saving and weather all are imp . 11. It may take abt min two months to get the first job depending on openings. 12. No job openings during Dec due to holidays.

And then take decision. Like you I do tell that you are not going to be settled here for life - so always be prepared to go back.

Ek samay around 2012-15 I too aspired to go to US by any route either by somehow getting sponsored by employer or by doing MS because all my friends were flocking US( in a rat race). Dekhadekhi I too did GRE TOEFL and i got an admit from MS in SE from ASU Poly campus but couldn't attend because I was bit indecisive to do MS just because I wanted to settle or do a job in US plus my parents wanted me to get married because I was enaged in early 2015. Another chance came in same year 2015 when my employer sponsored me L1B but the project was scrapped for which I was about to travel. In 2016 when i left my employer, I left my American dream with it. Fast forward July 2020 I thank god and my stars that I'm here in India happily and US ya Europe jane wala bhoot utar gya mere sir se. Thank's to my family ( my wife and my parents who never gave importance to US dream and at times explained that anybody life success is not measured by going and settling in US). We should be work hard here and be contented what god has given us and he will provide right things at right time when we work with right intentions. God bless everyone. P.S. Many of my brilliant, hardworking friends who went to US and studied in top universities there around 2014-15 has returned to India because their 3 year OTP has expired and they could not win an H1B lottery during these 3 years. I feel very sorry for them.

Thanks for the information. One small correction - after 6 yrs of H1B and you start using the I-140 (green card application) sponspored by the Employer, you can get extension usually 3 yrs similar to as if you were on H1B and not just 1 year.

I graduated in May 1997 and got my OPT for one year (In those days we get only one year), gave my credentials to lawyer with most of my savings given to her as fees, she first sent EB2 and then sent EB1 in August 1st week and both got approved in September 3rd week. We then filed our I-485 and we had our EAD in December 1997. I never went through H1B visa and went from Student F1 Visa to become a Green Card holder. I struggled a lot during my MS + PhD for 6 years affecting my health adversely as the research problem was very difficult to get a solution but all that struggle paid off with my Green Card coming within 6 months after graduation.

H1B extension totally depends on end clients(onsite client), client letter or the SOW which specifies the period of project and one gets the no. of years on his/her H1-B extn. But yes, it is very important that one shud apply for his I-140 on the 5th year of his/her H1-B so that s/he gets a priority date which probably take years for GC, but on the basis of I-140 approval notice, you file your H1-B extension for 3 years which and the success rate is high. Like I said it all depends on the documents your receive from end client. If your SOW says project is only for short period say 6 months you may end up getting an approval for only 6 Month.

I like the thought of being clear on for what purpose and for how long you'll be in US for a pleasant experience

[@mohittanvar5117]

Sir can you shower some more light on the medical profession over there. Since most of my seniors who did mbbs from india and went to usa for post graduation(USMLE residency) very rarely returned back. Is there something special about issuing H1B or green card to the doctors over there?? I am also planning to give USMLE exams and do my post graduation in medicine over there. If setting over there seems to be a guarantee. Because i never saw someone returning because of not being issued h1B visa. Either they get it renewed everytime easily or maybe the rules are a bit different for the doctors and physicians. Is that so? Kindly brief over that

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

watch my latest video on best degrees in USA. I have answered many of the things that you are asking

Harsh reality ki kya baat hy, koi bhi entitled nahi hota.4-6 saal bhi US me kam kro to bhi accha hi hy, experience le kar apne desh aa jao.btw real american dream mid 70's me khatam ho gaya tha.

Totally agreed Professor! Do you think things would change based on the results of US Elections 2020?

[@Suhaibiq]

Work in USA and invest in India, the return is 10 times higher, by the time you are about to return to India, you already have assets built. If you invest in retail sector in India then you have a portfolio built for yourself that will return rental income and money flow created for you.

[@rishikeshsrivastava8850]

What do you mean by retail sector ? Where can i get more information about how to invest in it ?

[@taranrishith]

Please answer the above question

[@vikramnarayan7072]

Better is start with small amount in India in retail sector and grow it slowly it does not seems good in going there with taking large amount Of money then work over there and then come and do as you said.

[@sanjogh777]

If you are coming to US, make sure you're coming for your PhD, not MS. I did my MS, now on my H1B. And I wished I did a PhD. Yes, it's very hard to get a green card through sponsorship but PhDs have a certain category under which they get Green card faster. Anyways, it's not an American dream anymore if you're trying to get a green card here, but it's in no way , a waste of time and money. American higher education is 100 times better than Indian education. That's a fact. Plus, just get a Canadian PR for security. I got it.

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

So true :)

[@vishnutejreddy9398]

Thanks for the information. You did not cover how we can extend H1b after 6yrs (AC21) if the company provides lawyers to apply for GC on our behalf. From then, should we extend H1b every time it expires till we get GC ?

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

From then, should we extend H1b every time it expires till we get GC ? Answer: Yes, extend every year

[@vishnutejreddy9398]

[@RaviSharma-rs5hj]

Sir I have one question if I am in queue of Green Card, then for how many years can I work in America with extension ? Can I work in queue for the rest of my life with extension or is there a limit ? Please explain .

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

as long as you can keep extending you can work

[@jasbirkauruppal3673]

@ Rohan .. lifetime job toh sirf govt jobs hota hai na.... so before u invested 50lakhs on education think if u can recover in 3yrs by working there ..... how many extensions will u get Btw ....hard fact.... almost all jobs r contract based .. 3months , 6months , 1year etc .... so y have to renew ur job contact too .. or else find somewhere else..... n worst part ... u need to keep doing small courses to upgrade , just like here in India......I meant about IT .... upgradation is needed coz whatever u worked on in 1 company jaroori nai woi domain mein job mile.... u may have job in say .net , n next available jobs r in Oracle .... what will u do? Only option will be do course crack interview

‘American Dream ‘I had that in school but later I moved to the UK for 4 years and now in Canada but I think salaries are less than the US but life is not that competitive and better as I see few of my American friends was born there from dream Cities like LA /NY moved to Vancouver and Montreal for good.

[@PrashantKhanolkarUSA]

Very good video supported with numbers and facts, would have made more of an impact if you can put some graphics / flowchart on this whole F1 to OPT/STEM OPT to H-1B to H-1B renewal to Green Card process. Feel very sorry for your friend who could not get through the H-1B lottery after 3 attempts. This is because of H-1B visa fraud by desi body shopping companies and Indian Prime Vendors. The Trump administration needs to look into this and stop this massive fraud. Thanks for your valuable guidance.

[@anupamdutta1196]

Thanks Prof! That was very insightful. Need your views on a situation .. this is about a student graduating with a BS in CS from an Ivy League this year and is likely to join a top 5 tech major. He plans to pursue MBA ( only if it’s from a top 5 MBA program in US) after his OPT of 3 years gets over. Is it worth it considering the cost? Will his prospects of staying back improve ? ( you can assume that the same company will hire him back after MBA)

[@DesiAmericanProfessor]

MBA not a good idea. MS in a STEM field is better.

[@anupamdutta1196]

Desi American Professor MBA not good from a career point of view or for staying back point of view in the short term considering only 1 year OPT after MBA?
