Dear Sushilji, My son completed his BTech from India in Aerospace Engg and completed his MS with a very high score from ASU ,Arizona US in2021. He got his H1B in 2022 itself and was working in a Consultancy firm there( work from home) as a Senior Business Analyst upto June2023. But after his project there was a shortage of projects due to the recession there and my son returned back to India. He is now preparing for his MBA entrance exam. He has applied for several jobs in India and had been shortlisted in some but eventually nothing was finalised. Is there any way to save his H1B? He is willing to do online US jobs from India as well. It is indeed a pity that with such an excellent CV he is not making any headway.

Hi Geeta, My daughter, 29 years, is engaged with a USA based groom, currently residing in Indianapolis. His groom has an H1B Visa, which he recently got after joining the University there and a faculty and research associate. My daughter is a Digital Media professional, having the highest qualification of MA (PR & Event Management) from Amity University, Noida, in 2018. The issue now, which we are facing that if she goes there as a dependent wife of the boy, then she has to go under an F-2 Visa, and in that case she can not work, and would have a status of a home-maker. At the same, US based companies generally do not employ people direct from India. So, she perhaps first has to go by joining a professional course commensurately to her background, possibly under a student visa, which subsequently may help her find an employer willing and able to sponsor her for an employment visa. Now, though she has joined for a GRE coaching institute, I personally believe that re-starting an academic, which is given up almost 5 years back, may not really be practical. In that case, finding a good course in USA in a good institution / university might also be difficult. Can you please suggest the best way out?

Ans: Hi,
there is no other option available for her. Either go on study permit or get married and apply under dependent visa.
