Returning Home Country Experiences

To Me-desi: Instead of being sarcastic, give up your crab mentality, He commited no crime,unfortunately the letter was used against him, it was indeed a mistake to mention that he was looking for a job, think of millions of illegal immigrants entering US, while here’s a man trying to carve a career for himself,why are you zealous?

to the doctor who got deported..
i think you deserved it! people like you who first lie knowingly and when you get caught try to paint the situation as a honest mistake. it is because of these kind of behavior, US immigration is deeply scrutinizing each petition for a H1B job or GC.
take these IT consultants, who have totally screwed it up for India
thanks for being a fellow countryman

Hello friends...
I am a doctor by profession and I got revoked from California immigration office on April 2008. I am an indian but was persuing my masters of Public Health in South east asian country in 2007. During my study period in may 2007 I had applied for US visitor visa at Thailand embassay and he gave me 10 yrs B1/B2 visa.

Now after completing my studies I came back to my home town in Chennai and in April 2008 I decided to visit various universities in US.
On reaching california airport the visa officer at the port of entry asked me for hw long u wanna stay ...I said 4 months...that was the mistake i did.....
He gt suspicious and send me to senior officer...
Then he checked my documents and my bad luck that he found a letter which I had written to my uncle stating that I need a job...
He has revoked me for 5 yrs....
My career has finished nw....
Please any one having heard any such experience can help me ..as what should I do nw?
Please guys help me out.......as how can I get a waiver for this 5 years.. also can I apply for other categories of visa if B1/B2 is cancelled nw.
Kindly help

Hi Guys

I m sure the people who are talking about returning home will go back to India and work in Multinational Company to earn money and most
cases it would be US based company !!! So ultimately working for US !!!

People who are saying we should go back and work for the country then They should really go back and join politics, NGO or any other organisation which reach to the commom people of india.

Here it is my own personal opinion that If u r really working for US based company in INdia then Better stay back here only !!!

Each country has its own pros and cons and US is no exemption from it. so it depends on one's preferences what he wants.

Hi,
I have been to US for 4 year and finally decided to settle down in India. I would like to know what is the best way to bring your US money to India? Do we have to pay taxes in India since we have already payed taxes while earning in US?

Hi All,

I was learning driving in USA from a person who is from portugal, While talking he told me a sentence which touched me to my inner core. his words were "Go back and do something for your country" Let me clarify he did not mean just to leave now. he meant after making some good money, one should return to home country ( and specially india.) and do something good for your mother land.

This is just my opinion and his words.

Jai Hind.

I like the way the last 2 posts have been written.Ofcourse its absolutely a personal choice and an individual's priority to stay back in the U.S or return to India.

I have been saying this time and again probably for 2 years now on this forum that if someone feels comfortable in U.S doesn't make him a 'traitor' Its all about comfort level and personal choice.We were all born Indians and even if not born Indians we still have strong Indians in us because of our heritage.We don't really have to live there to always proove that.

Recently we have been offered to move to India with a great oppurtunity but we still prefer to stay back because its not always about money, career, strategic business like moves. A lot of times its just about personal choice and we may have a very strong reason for that.This doesn't mean we are crazy for turning down the offer or we are disloyal to our country its just 'our personal' preference.

I guess as long as one is happy with their decision that is enough.Its all about happiness and satisfaction at the end and what gives you that is very relative.Its important to be satisfied with your decision yourself and not try to satisfy or justify it to others.

Hi all,

May be 20 years ago comparative opportunities were not available and at that point of time Indians built brand "India" by staying here.

In last 5-6 years people have a choice. They can be here and add shine to brand India or they can go back and add shine to India story.

Now is the time to make a personal and tactical choice which varies by individual circumstances. So need is to be happy by making appropriate choice.

strongly disagree with people who feel that liking US or prefering to stay here means that u hate ur motherland .. thats ridiculous ... even if u stay and work in india you tend to progress towards a better lifestyle as and whn u can afford to do so ... if u were born in a small village and have fond memories attached to it that doesnt mean u will stay thr for the rest of your life to prove ur loyanly .. at the same time moving towards greener pastures doesnt mean that u hate ur roots .... m sure 99% of NRIs love India ... every1 tries to visit their motherland once a yr .. its just that the life here is more convenient and given an oppurtunity why not have a comfy life if you have a choice ... had i been living in india and only thr mabbe i will not miss anythg cos u will miss somethg only if u know it .. but after experiencing a nice convenient lifestyle why will i want to go back to the same old grind ... theres absolutely nothg wrong if people feel that way .. and FYI IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY MEAN WE HATE OUR COUNRTY .... people who think that need to GROW UP ..
