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

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.

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.

Very nicely explained Sir! Thank you very much. We really need to know the ground reality. And only people like you with a big heart can tell us that. Thank you very much again! 🙏🏻

Thanks for posting this video ,nicely explained all the key-points.This is the reality whether we accept or not.

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.

Very well explained!! Good Job 🙌

great video sir. Thanks for it. You cleared many doubts

Very well explained thanks alot. looking forward for such a nice video

Truth is bitter but best serve cold.. right and partical advice

I can so relate to this, stayed in USA for 7+ years with a green card filed. But after facing infinite backlog due to per-country cap, moved to Australia as a PR, with an Indian born but practically American child :-) .... While income, size, and quality of life in unparalleled in the USA, sustainability, and peace of mind also needs to be considered... Thanks for the video ....

We love your realistic videos... Keep it up sir👌👍... Also appreciate your hindi & English language videos so that everyone can understand in India....

Sir, your approach of making videos is amazing. Thank you for making so informative videos.

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)

Sir you are a true inspiration! 🙏

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.

Kudos! Very balanced. You provided view on opportunities with associated risks.

He is completely correct in either way, but I truly believe current administration must stop H1B program and also employment it's like "मृगजल" which is exaggerated picture of USA . This way outsourcing will increase and we Indian can stay near our love one and it's win win situation for every one. What is point in growing US company with our sweat and blood and with no appreciation from American.

This video opened my eyes to a whole different level . Thank you professor.

Been watching your channel since couple of months. Please don't take blind criticism too close to your heart, Prof. What you explained are general and fact based scenarios and you can't cover all the even and odd aspects in mere 10-20 mins videos. Keep up the good work. PS: I am an University of Texas at Arlington alumnus. Is that fall tall building Piccard Hall or University Center outside your office at end of the video? It's been couple of years since I graduated so kind of forgotten the layout.

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.

Very much informative.

VERY USEFUL INFORMATION

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.

Very informative. Do people concerned with education professions, like a university faculty face the same issues in green card ?

Your explanation is very good 👍 and genuine.

You speak about practical scenarios....

As long as economic situation in India doesn't improve and there aren't enough jobs for the educated youth, people will keep coming. The whole GC backlog issue is an issue that affects Indians and to some extent Chinese only. All other nationalities have no issue and face no delays. In other words this is an issue causes by Indians which is now affecting Indians. The root cause of this problem lies in the planning of Indian government, lack of resources, lack of economic growth and of course population. What is the point of opening IITs, IIMs and AIIMS in every state when graduating students cannot find jobs? PhD'S in some states are applying for janitor jobs? In such cases 100 year backlog is still better a better deal than unemployment for a youth from middle class or poor family. They will keep coming and keep deteriorating the situation for all. In addition, this is a cultural issue as well. Everyone wants to do white collar job generally speaking. If everyone will become manager who will do the work? It is really difficult to find good plumbers, electricians, machinery operators etc. If the government invests in trade education it will not only fix unemployment issue but also the mass migration. Every country has the right to protect job for its citizen so we should not complain about work visas or immigration issues. The laws and system are same for everyone in US and they are fair. Those who don't like it here can leave at anytime and there no rule which stops anyone from doing so.

Sir, Can I ask you whether you are a Green carf holder, or in a different Visa status? If you don't mind.. 🙏🙏

I understood about how an H1b employee’s key to career growth is in the hands of his/her employer until the employer starts green card process of the employee.so before this,I.e for 6 years there are chances to get promotion just like any other employee in the company right?

I paid the price of migrating to USA on Student visa then H1 and then Green Card. I could not go for my parents funeral. Total we lost more than 15 family members in this journey I couldn’t attend any of them including my parents. We earn for families when we can’t spend our time when they were in need then I don’t think this wealth and luxuries matter. This is my guilt for life. When we can do something in foreign country then we can do much more in our own countries.

I didn't see your complete video but my experience says you are showing true reality.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.
