I expected this comment. Happy to see it. Though this comment isn't worth anything per say, this shows how the rest of India is ignorant or cannot accept the facts that this state is a shining example of how other Indian states should

I do not know about India as a whole making strides in economic growth. It has to do something with the overall education level. I am taking the example of Kerala , a small coastal state in the southern part of India. This small state in In

I have mentioned US immigration system as broken in many other comments of mine in HN. Why don't you go count that too ?

In my case , it not only needs courage and effort. The USCIS restricts me from working on anything else than the occupational field for which I got my work visa on. I am not whining or anything, this country has given me a lot of good thing

Not everyone likes to write,read or blog ,people are different, nor can she stay in India. I don't think you understand how marriage works in Indian culture. How does it feel for you to get married and then stay away from your partner.

Yes it is. Changing jobs will reset the greencard process ( which is 8 years for Indian & Chinese citizens ). So H1B jobs cannot be changed easily. Cannot ask for raise because the employee's destiny is in employer's hand. H1B

US immigration system is broken & is a joke. H1B "skilled" visas are based on your luck (lottery) and not on your skills (surprise). They change the rules every now and then and its a nightmare to be on H1B worrying whether yo

Yes you are absolutely right. The connected car project which I worked for had ECUs outsourced. The car manufacturer said "hey we are a car company". You deal with the technicalities of ECUs giving you proper data. The ECUs were g

Yes you can change employers while on H1B. Its not really a transfer. Its a new petition by the new employer except that its not counted in the annual cap. It has got its quirks. Join the new employer only when the new petition is approved
