Congratulations to you, thanks for sharing your green card experience. You did a fantastic job documenting and explaining the process! All the best to you.
Damn this guy was really well prepared, and I love his honesty and simplicity. U have won a loyal subscriber. Watching from Kampala, Uganda, East Africa
Smart move. US is better to live than india and you can travel to many countries visa free. I moved to US at age 5 as a kid. I'm 18 now and ready to apply for citizenship!
Tbh you made a very rational decision regarding your career and life, therefore Respect for you, still man I'm not sure about anyone else, but I would definitely cry if I had to give up Indian Citizenship and my Indian dream.
My eyes was filled with tears when I saw this video. The day when a person gets US citizenship it will be his / her best day. By the way Professor I really liked your thumbnail picture of these video with Judge.
Sir🙏, you are doing an amazing job by making such videos it will surely help many students and people who were planning to come into US.. keep it up👍👍👍sir
Thanks for this helpful information, I was so confused before but after when I done watched this video , I think it not just help me but lots other peoples as well , those who wants to apply for US Citizenship and OCI CARD as well
First of all - Congratulations to you, Thanks for sharing your green card experience. You did a fantastic job documenting and explaining the process. Great Job. Helpful to many of the people. All the best to you.
congrats prof it's worth mentioning that you should never jump to go to the US or any country if naturalization is your only goal, I've seen a lot of people fall flat when their green card process make them wait a long time, so its best if you keep naturalization in the bottom of your list of life goals.
Hello sir. I'm doing my masters in iit kanpur this year 2020.but due to online mode of study the learning outcomes is almost nil. Before joining I thought I would like to pursue PhD, may be in usa but right now didn't developed any passion for a particular topic. It think PhD is a passion driven degree. Can you make a video on this topic as to how to decide a topic. Thanks
Hello professor, i am in houston in oil and gas industry for last 30 yrs and enjoy watching your channel. Congrats on all of your accomplishments. Now that you have CHOSEN to put your life on public media, i am curious to know your viewpoints on long term relationships. Looks like you are still not married. Would you post some videos on the current state of dating, arranged marraige vs dating, your personal struggles or successes in dating or getting married, issues immigrants like you face with cultural influences when findinf that right person, etc etc etc. Netflix had a documentary on indian matchmaker and i am looking for your views and stories on long term relationships. I noticed that you shyed away from the subject and may be time to put some videos out there. Of course your choice but it may help many navigate this trecherous path. Thanks prof. MM.
I do make videos here there on people's suggestions and go off topic, but my main focus is education. I do not want to make this channel about me. This channel is for students.
Hi, great story thanks for sharing! What specifically was involved in the biometrics? Was there any blood tests, drug tests, vaccinations, medical history etc? Thanks 👌
I figured lol. Do you happen to know anything about have conditions removed on residency? If you are married for less than 2 years when applying for a green card through marriage, you are given a "conditional resident card or CR1 residency" and you have to apply to remove the conditions are 2 years by proving your marriage is bona fide. That is the process I am in right now.
I have spoken about green card and issues in a video only to later told by many that there were quite a few inaccuracies. So I would not want to comment on issues that are not my forte. That said, from what I know, you get 2 year conditional green card and then 2 years later you need to send all the documents proving that the marriage is still going good. I am not sure if they call for an interview again. I think sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. But consult someone more knowledgeable in such issues
Hi, thanks for taking out time for making such informative videos. If possible, can you please make a video on your journey from being a Ph.D. graduate to obtaining a faculty position? Also, did you apply GC through EB2-NIW? Thanks.
I thought that getting a US citizenship is very hard, but after watching this, things look a little easy. Though we have to be very patient, but still, it isn't that hard as I thought.
He went into academia, where getting GC is relatively easy. Apart from that, he went to the US back in 2006. Currently, it's really difficult for Indians to get GC, forget about citizenship. One shouldn't blindly follow someone.
Very well done and Congrats! Could you comment on (1) delays you may have heard during the pandemic and (2) I understand that the processing times vary based on where you are located - would you suggest moving to expedite the N400? Thanks.
sir, I got green card in 2014 but I still not applied for citizenship. But when I seen this video I think I need to do it. please tell me what is the first step I need to do.
congrats prof it's worth mentioning that you should never jump to go to the US or any country if naturalization is your only goal, I've seen a lot of people fall flat when their green card process make them wait a long time, so its best if you keep naturalization in the bottom of your list of life goals.
Sir, what a detailed and well organized video explaining the process. Thank you for this. I have my interview in a few weeks. I'm very nervous that i will mess up my interview even though i have already reviewed the civics portion multiple times.
Hello sir ! I would just like to know what was the exact date when you where eligible for a green card in USA. Secondly, after getting a US passport what is scope of calling and staying with our old parents ? Please answer 🙏 Thanks in advance 👍
its great that you got the US citizenship.... congratulations 🎉🔥 ... ....sir i have a question ... don't you feel that you shoud do something for the people of India as well ...i feel you are one of the most valuable NRIs as you are a professor ... undoubtedly professors are the best human resource.....so do you feel you can contribute to the development of Indians ....plz don't mind...i am just trying to compare you with SRK in Swades.....hope you understand my question....i will be privileged to get a reply from you 🙏🙏
Indians have to get a student visa or a work visa to stay in usa. This guy is a professor and hence studied in usa and then went on to teach. So student visa was later converted to work visa. Then he got a green card and later a citizenship. Indians have to travel by plane and hence they are checked dor status the moment they land. That is why all indian immigrants are masters or phd people
Want to point out that there's another reason they ask you the dates and how many days you were out of the country is because "You are only eligible for citizenship after 365.25 X 5 days, after you've received your green card. The number of days you stayed out of USA need to be subtracted from 365.25 X 5 days". So , Total number of days you've resided in the US, from the date you received your green card, to the date of the interview - Total number of days you've stayed outside of US >=1827
First off, thanks much for your insight about the US Citizenship interview. I have a question. Could you please answer? When the officer asks as to when was last trip to outside US, you said in your video, that you have the data ready in a handout prepared to answer. Is this allowed? Besides when the social security number & the previous address where one lived are asked, can the applicant see his pre-prepared paper and read out, as it’s difficult to remember the dates and the numbers?
Congratulations Prof!!!! I just wanted to ask one question.... Can you now call your parents from India and get them green card as immediate relatives to an American citizen(you) or you can not??? And is similar the case with siblings??
Parents yes, siblings take a very long time. My parents at the moment are happy in India and prefer to visit on a tourist visa. My brother does not want me to sponsor his GC. Because once I file his GC application, he cannot enter USA until he gets his GC, which will take 20-40 years. Because he works for an American company in India, he keeps traveling to USA on a business visa. If I apply for his GC, it can hurt his career. That is the reason I have not filed for my family's green card.
Sir I want to persue my career in Arts(Photography) and if I am on Student visa and after completing Masters and Getting Employment Visa, can I apply for Green Card ??? If would be Great if you could help me for my question.
Hi Professor. So we have completed 5 years as permanent residents in MD, USA. How difficult is to go through naturalization process. Would you be willing to become my mentor?
please correct me if I am wrong a few corrections. I think the OCI card is only good as long as your passport is in good standing because the OCI card is linked to the passport. once your PP expires, you will have to apply for a new OCI card. please confirm
Hi Professor Having completed 5 years since I got my green card, I wish to apply for US citizenship. One of my trips i.e. to India in 2019-2020 lasted for 10 months as I was stuck under lockdown due to Covid even though I had a confirmed return ticket scheduled within 6 months. I can submit the air ticket as an evidence along with N-400 application explaining the situation. I am a parent of 70 years age and am not doing any job here to show the ties inUS. Please advise me how to proceed.
It sounds cool and easy when you narrate it like that but I'm sure it must be difficult.
Yeah
Yep most probably
Ofcourse
Exactly 😹😹

I have heard that US gives citizenship to exceptional people on the basis of their background , by hosting special citizenship ceremonies.
Only because of trump
Before him there was no special ceremony for citizenship

But you should have started from how you got your green card
Great Information about the OCI Card....! Mujhe to oata hi nahin tha iske bare mein. Thanks Professor !!
My eyes was filled with tears when I saw this video. The day when a person gets US citizenship it will be his / her best day. By the way Professor I really liked your thumbnail picture of these video with Judge.
By the time everyone get, they would be nearing retirement age
I'm referring to students who came here after 2010
there is nothing so called the best day , getting us citizenship is just a process that needs to be followed
You explained each and every single thing in best way possible. ❤️
Prof Sambhara, these videos are really helpful. I know you are busy but still you take time out to make these videos. Thank you so much.

India mein aap bhi ho na toh aap karo try india ko improve karne ka. India ka kuch nahi ho sakta
Question: how did u get to the US in the first place?? How did u come from india and became legal in US ?

OCI is the solution to overcome non availability of dual citizenship in India. Remember that Govt has the powers to cancel OCI.
