USA H1B Breaking Families and Ruining Careers...? Hindi (English CC)

[@user-ll9uu6nz9t]

He hammered the nail when he said, "what are you gonna do with your green card if u don't have a job". I did my bachelors and masters in engineering from Australia and yes quiet a struggle during student visa days and equally stressful obtaining permanent residency. Cost of living is ridiculously high here. I never got a job in my field after my graduation and its been 7 years now i finished my postgrad. Now the qualification is irrelevant. There are plenty with same situation here. I have the residency but not the job in my field. But my cousin who same as my age, went to US and works in his field but doesnt have permanent residency. Dont even ask about racism

[@user-ll9uu6nz9t]

@Joe Al intend to recover all the money i have wasted of my parents on the misadventure. Would like to return to india with dignity.

[@baxakk7374]

In Economics, the cost you incurred in the past is called sunk cost, it's gone and you can't get it back. But at the same time if your purpose was to make money, you could get any kind of job in Aus and make some money I guess. However, if your purpose was to become an engineer and if you really love it, then you should go where you can do it no matter what you have spent before.

[@sammysam928]

So have you thought of going. back to Australia? I am a Canadian citizen that became a US citizen as well, recently. Eventually I will go back to Canada, for the quality of life is better in CANADA

[@adityamahla]

I graduated in 2017. Got my PR and citizenship but couldnt find field job till date. Should have stayed back in India and get some field experience and directly move to Australia without student visa path. Way easier to get job if you have Indian corporate experience. Even thn you can't have senior position like in India.

[@rsraman123]

Very well made video. There is at a minimum 5-10 years of struggle to make it in the US even in the most lucky case these days (EB1 green card). And the fact that India now is not the India off 1990, tilts the favor in many cases towards A life in India. It’s a fact that most of the Indian technology graduates including IIT’ians these days choose to stay back in India as many opportunities are available in India compared to three decades ago.

[@newsgroupsdata]

Thank you for making this video professor. You have listed all the important points that many Indians are not aware before coming to the US on F1 or H1 visa. Some Indians may get GC easily through spouses or EB1, etc but majority of the Indian applicants are in the multi-decades queue. Please do not worry about giving a rebuttal to every critical comment. What you are describing is the reality and is very accurate. For the foreseeable future, until the GC backlog issue is solved, all Indians should treat coming to the US as a temporary plan and should expect to never get a GC/residency/citizenship akin to wht happens in the middle eastern countries. Always on work visa if thru F1/H1/L1 route.

Both his views are exactly right. Forget about getting GC in EB2 in less then 15 yrs. EB1 was current when i moved to US in 2016, but now it has a backlog of almost 3 yrs. I moved from Germany and that is the biggest regret till now. The situations could vary from person to person, So B4 moving, do your research and be prepare to move back to India if nothing works here.

Here is what I will say (I have lived Europe for long) Europe countries have easier immigration usually 5-6 years of timespan to Passport but the major reason why I still may eventually end up in USA after (1 year left to my EU passport ) is just the fact that all the major companies and innovation are still in USA (even if I can match even my Euro to USD salary) to grow up in an Org which is US based you will have to be in US People can take workarounds : Like get Canada passport and then move to US or get a EU passport and then move to US to get over the Visa issue and have a better peace of mind (which is what I plan)

Hi, Thank you for your videos. They are very informative and clear, based on facts. I was going to ask you about what one should think about when going abroad for an advanced degree. I think one should check that the degree being sought abroad does not make you over-qualified for the majority of positions in your home country, if you have to go back, and if one does go for this degree, (s)he has contingency plan(s) in place. Also, is getting an advanced degree (anywhere) the only way one can acquire skills? Perhaps investing in (not necessarily paid) project work during college, that makes a big impact - I think you mentioned this in one of your videos. I am not sure if that would work in India, it could work in the US after recent regulations. It would be great to know your thoughts. Best regards, Satya.

Thanks for taking the time to provide Indian immigrants a detailed explanation on the H1b and green card process. I was very fortunate to come to the US in 1987 as a student. However, it was insanely hard. At age 27 I put myself thru a B.S in Computer Science and worked and put myself thru school. I was fortunate to get a job that sponsored me for my green card. In 1992, the H1B visa took me 1 month and the GC took me 12 months. I do understand these immigration steps are extremely difficult and have been made worse due to COVID. Professor thanks for taking the time to provide this detailed information to people wanting to come to the US from India. I now look back 33 years later and have no regrets in my life. Yes, it was incredibly hard but I think it was well worth it! To Indians wanting to come to the US as students or on H1b visa, I say, follow your dream!

Hello Sir, I appreciate your effort in creating the much required awareness among Indians. Your suggestions have been very pragmatic in nature and are based on facts prevailing out there. Since you have seen US education system as a student as well as a teacher , I think you can analyse with same rigour the flaws in Indian education system compared to that of US. I am aware that you are occupied with your profession and making KZbin videos is actually the extra work you are doing out of your affection towards Indian community. But , please consider making a series of such crisp videos about the critical differences in education system. I am a PhD student in India and I want to take up teaching & research career . My aim is to change within my tiny capacity the style of education and make it as effective as the US education system. I don’t live in the fantasy of changing the entire system single handedly but I would like to try at individual level. When you said towards the end of this video “ if you can get Green Card, there is nothing like it!” , I felt like writing this comment.

[@milindphadnis3990]

Hi, I am a professor in US and can offer some insights as I think you are asking a very genuine question. To be a successful researcher, you have to be be an independent thinker of ideas. You should ask yourself one key question in your student life and that is "Am I merely learning things given in books, lecture notes or some tasks assigned by my professors or am I gradually cultivating myself capable of independent research thoughts?". The biggest challenge for a PhD student is the transitioning from being a student to being a researcher. I am not aware of how PhD programs work in India, but here in the US, there is considerable amount of coursework to do in a PhD program even after completing a Masters. These PhD courses require you to work on projects, develop the habit of conducting literature reviews, develop a strong appetite for reading journal articles on your own, and present your findings to a class with confidence and excellent presentation skills. After completing his/her PhD coursework, a student has to prove his worth by passing a Comprehensive exam which is subject-specific exam in which a student has to demonstrate that he/she is capable to answering both simple and hard open-ended questions. Only after that, a student is allowed to progress to work on his dissertation. This experience pushes the students to constantly strive for more and prepares them mentally to taken on rigors of research. Hope this insight will help you.

[@manuhegde4905]

@@milindphadnis3990 Thank You, Sir. It is pretty much same in India. I am a student at one of the older IIT(Indian Institute of Technology)s and most of our faculty members hold PhD from US universities. Apart from all of those requirements, I believe there are some fundamental differences. We publish considerably in journals but break through ideas aren't coming out of our system. While there are people doing genuine research work , most of us milk the concepts developed in EU/US . The quality of masters students entering PhD is poor compared to that of an average US / EU graduate. Consequently , the productivity suffers . And there are issues with learning procedure as well. I would like to hear from Indian origin US educators these subtle issues.

Sir I agree with your points but I would like to make the point that people who want to settle down in a different country shouldn't look at USA as an option especially of they are indian. They should look at other countries which give u PR and also have stable economy. People do want stability. I can explain it with an example it would be a choice between being a millionaire for 3 years and then u give it all up or having good steady job with good salary for the rest of life till retirement. People will choose the latter rather than the former even college students who want to study and settle in the same country will look at it this way spending all that money and have to leave after a fix few years is like staying in the most expensive hotel room in the world u would rather have ur own house in a good place rather than spend few years in a hotel room and the. U have to live in a awful place for the rest of ur life

"Also, More Canadian citizens on TN in the USA are getting green card than H1B holders because green card issuance is unlimited for Canadian citizens". - that cant be true. it goes by country of birth and not country of citizenship. all countries have 7% cap and no country can get more than 7% out of 140000 EB visas.
