As some one who returned from US, this is how I look at US/Outside India stay: 1. Ensure you are rich/have lot of money. 2. Ensure you are healthy. Even if one doesn't apply to you, life can be hell outside India. This is to an extent you won't even get a shoulder to cry upon. A lot of people think they have a social structure in the US, until they have call upon on in the times of emergencies, and realize they have none. A lot of this depends on a major disease never touching you, and having life long 20% YoY career growth. You have to be lucky beyond belief to fit into this definition, this is regardless of how hard you can or are working. The problem with this luck game is, no one is lucky enough to be lucky forever. Most people who settle in the US are really having tons of luck going for them in early life. That's the good news. The bad news, is if you plan to toss a coin a billion times, and a straight 10K heads have shown up. Guess what a straight 10K tails are coming sooner or later. Go figure.
