Love your honesty Omkar. This needs to be shared and I am glad you're doing it. ✊
Thank you Aditi. Learning from you as well.
iIs been 15 years since I cam to US on F1, with current priority dates I may have to wait atleast 10 more years(its been already 10 years in waiting since i started i140 process) to get my GC. I feel you are still in early phase and have to face many challenges and hurdles. Getting H1B and I140 approved doesn't guarantee anything, especially its even more hard for us(core/non -IT) I have seen people who's 4th or 5th H1B extension got denied even after approved with I140 with the same employer and loosing the job, not able to find a job with in 60 days and even if you find a job, sometimes you may not be able carry forward the same priority date. Its all over from ground zero again
Good luck, be consistent and ready to face the challenges !
whats your PD
From personal experience: Since the stress is unbearable, and there is no vertical growth--- the best investment is in one's self. Health, being in nature (nothing better than the US national parks anywhere in the world), travel within the US, travel to India when you can, find spiritual growth, invest in professional development & relationships (family if that is applicable). One great thing I found beneficial is making friends that are not Indian- as the talk would not revert back to the inevitable backlog. With the amazing American diversity we have- it helped me to see (through my work and volunteering) that people have far greater challenges than us- and we are actually blessed (just don't see it from our bubble). Honestly- there are 2 truths. The immigration process is a nightmare. And there is no other country in the world as unique, exceptional and rewarding as the United States of America. I wish you the best.
Haven’t gone through ur video but really appreciate your patience for answering to every comment/question 👌
✌🏻✌🏻
I am going through the same pain as you, can truly relate a lot! My previous employer can not do PERM so I had to leave the amazing people and awesome opportunities. Now there seems to be issues with my new company about PERM as well recently. I wish I had joined the new company a little earlier so I don't need to suffer here again. Your story makes me feel calmer about the ups and downs. It's like getting good/bad hands and there is really no way out. Thank you very much for sharing! ♥
Happy to share my thoughts. I am sure things will work out. There is always a way. Good luck 🍀.
Hi Omkar. You have precisely pinpointed the issue. Explained the fact by sharing your own story. Your friendly advice is very much helpfull for those who are in the process of H1B. Keep sharing. You have gone through challenging situations in Life, came out of it courageously with flying colours. And now you are sharing and helping the others , showing various ways to tackle it.
You said that "Life in US is a game," and the person who keeps playing eventually WINS at the end
There is saying in Sanskrit for this.... चरैवति चरैवति....
Keep moving
Keep moving..
Absolutely, Kaka. Thanks
Was on h1b for 6 years , got laid off twice during that time unfortunately and was extremely stressful but I got a job both the times since market was much better back then . Luckily met the love of my life who also was born here, now got my GC and living with my husband and 2 kittens in a duplex apartment very peacefully :)
So happy for you! Things do get better with time if you stay the course. Good luck to you.
You married a white or indian american ?
I really like your calm speaking style. Best of luck in your journey.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I took the UK route so this video does not apply to me but randomly came across this video. Though we are on different journeys Your determination and sheer will to succeed has really inspired me. I’m wishing you all the best brother and I have no doubt you will achieve all your dreams
Thank you, good luck to you as well mate.

Not

Great content. Even though I did not have to take second master’s route , felt like watching my last 6 years in this 20 mins video.
Hopefully you were able to get H1B.
Honestly your experience WAS valid in 2019, now with 780k h1b applications going in, there’s no point taking 1st day CPT. Go to Canada if your h1b doesn’t get picked up
You are right
what a commitment brother, hats off to you
Very honest information
If there is so much of struggle due to visa issues, why don't you come to India? What's the point of stuggling in US on H1b? Fact to be told, people who filed GC now will never get it. You are painting a picture as if all opportunities are in US and nothing is in India. Why waste life on slavery based visa rather than be independent in India?
Pratik, hope you watch the entire video. Last 5 minutes will help you understand why people choose to stay.
@@ImmigrantTalks Hey Omkar, I saw the whole video. You said you are going through all this because of the ambition and the goal that you had while coming to US. So, what's your ambition? Because I'm in US and apart from huge savings, I find nothing worth living in US. No freedom, no side hussles, no to startup ventures, no help for household chores and biggest of all...not near to parents in old age when they need us the most. On the contrary, in India, you get a sense of freedom. All my thoughts are wrt to living on h1b visa in US. GC is out of question for people filing in 2020s. No one will get it in their lifetime. So again, my question remains same...what ambition and goal are people chasing?
All of our goals and experiences are different here, still I feel the same frustration you feel. My goal through this video was to give hope to people who continue to fight without any hope. Hope that answers your question.
@@ImmigrantTalks Got it. Atleast for me, what happened was I was excited about coming here in initial period of time. But it faded away as I started living here. I came to know that apart from savings, I don't have any sense of satisfaction living here on h1b. I think many people are reluctant to go back to India because they have settled here and some even have kids going to American schools. So, they are willing to sacrifice their life for their children.
@@pratikchaudhari2344definitely I agree to your point, any student who goes to US definitely will not foresee all the problems over there unless they land up there, and coming back to India is how to pay back loan taken on their parents house😢, parents really love to receive their boys but who is going to pay back huge loans, I agree that there won't be house maids, that's why even I started telling people not to send to US where there is lot of challenges, hope US government will understand this and help our already landed students
Brother my marks are very less, I want to come to the US as a student visa but my marks are very less so what should I do next.. please help me bro😍😍😍🙏🙏
Made a video on this topic.
If the probability of getting h1b is 17% so not getting 83%. Not getting picked up three times on a row… probability is 57% and that was data given to you at the start. Still that’s a 43% percent overall chance of getting selected atleast once. Still low but if people can’t handle that look into australia
Fantastic calculation. Proud of you.
Formula used P(A) = 1- P(~A).
With Day 1 CPT 2 tries, it’s goes upto 60% chance. (5 attempts total).
Hi OM, Anil from Franklin. Keep up the good work and lots of luck.
Anil, thank you. So nice to see you here. Enjoyed talking with you today. See you at the club again.
What a journey!! More power to you🔥
I accept your good wishes😃. Thank you
Hi Omkar. I have a question does university matters in usa for h1b and jobs. Like can I pursue from online universities in usa and will it be not make any negative impact on my h1b or job.
Yes they matter
@@ImmigrantTalks what will be the disadvantages at the time of h1b and job by studying in online universities like trine or Harrisburg.
Hi, I need your help if my opt will due in June 2024. I am asking my employer to apply H1B for me. If H1B start in Oct 2024 if get elected, and can I work during June 2024 to Oct 2024?
Please email me at omkarhelps@gmail.com or connect on Instagram at Immigrant_talks. You might have to consider CAP GAP, or consider day 1 cpt if you don’t get selected. I’ll help you with both.
Ok
@@elisabeth1219 did your h1b get picked ?
Well said bro👍
Thanks you buddy.
I really did not know soo much in getting H1😢,
Government of US should help
Why? Chose your over their own citizens
I have a question. What people do after getting rejected for 3 times. How many people come back?
I honestly don’t know that, I went back to masters. Check my video on day 1 CPT.
Those who do want to study further come back statistics are not available
Sir I wanted to know out of 100 how much % chance is there that may h1b visa application will be selected if I apply
Only 17% of people who apply get it.
@@ImmigrantTalks then that means doing masters in USA not worth it because we get to work only for 3 years after completing masters
Nice Video. I am on an H1B visa and feel you, bro. What document will be required when I travel from India to the US on a stamped H1B visa? Do you know if I need an employment letter from my employer while entering from the port of authority in the US? Thank you.
Yes. Carry it with you.
I have completed my bachelors in architecture and masters in urban planning and planning to Pursue masters in construction management, so after my masters can I find jobs in architectural and planning firm or is it only suppose to be a construction related job ?
Love your patience and your replies to all the comments
Mostly construction would be easy to find work, you can find work in arch and planning but that’s a low chance.
Hi so the whole thing is to find an employer who can sponsor. But how do you know if that is guarantee if there is h1b visa lottery? I am not sure how that works? Its my last semester for my associates and I am applying for OPT.
I didn’t understand your Guarantee question?
@@ImmigrantTalks hi so if you employer sponsors your for h1b is it guaranteed that you will get the h1b or is it up to lottery ?
@@kristinamema9080it’s up to lottery employers are taking risk with n you on probability of you getting picked up from lottery by f not you can continue working on opt and wait for next years lottery
I completed diploma in civil engineering form UTTAR PRADESH POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE. Kya mai USA me job kr sakta hu after diploma
4ways to come 2 uSA watch that video I made
Hi Omkar, I have new H1b offer with a consulting firm and my visa is stamped as well. My current employer in india wants me to transfer my h1b . Considering current risk of job cuts and recession even I am thinking for transfer. Can you suggest if it is a wise move to transfer my H1B even before traveling to USA ?
I am not sure if I understand your situation here Santosh. Consider scheduling a call via Link in the bio, it seems to be a complicated situation.
No
I have an approved i140 from 2018. It’s as good as toilet paper. I might use it for that or to light a fire if I run out of resources. I’m saving it for that 😂
Hahaha, it’s fine mate. It’s a just a milestone on your journey.
@@ImmigrantTalks brother if you are younger than 30 years apply for PR to Canada write IELTS get that option open. I’m too old to go to Canada age works against me. You look young I’m assuming you are under 30. Just get the Canada option open. Good luck. Don’t let Americans use your best years and ditch you like they did to others. It’s my sincere advice from a good heart to you. Take care. You seem to be making the same decisions I made when I was younger. Don’t lose the edge age gives you. Use it to get that Canada PR before you turn 30.
@@neoblackcyptronperfect👍
Hi. Bro
I got job offer under h1b non cab visa . For permanent position. Is it good?
Go for it
Choose India over the US. If you can make 40-50lpa in India in 5 years of work ex, US is not really a great option
It is a great option if one’s green card application is moving positively in the fwd direction
I agree with most of the thing you said but for many people this particular game is impossible to play. I simply don't have money to study in usa. And also some people who studied in usa, what they don't get H1B even after applying 3 times after masters. What are they going to do ?? Unless they find an american to marry they can't win this game. Canada is definitely a much better option. Even studying in canada is not cheap its quite expensive but it offers a lot of other ways to immigrate. The reality is that immigrating from a poor country like india to a any developed country is almost never going to be easy. Its always going to be very very difficult. Those countries make it that way by their laws. I think the best way to immigrate to usa without spending a lot of is by moving to canada and then traveling to usa for making connections and trying to find jobs and eventually marrying an american. That will guarantee green card and also make the process as fast as possible.
👍🏻
Marrying a US citizens is also not an easy option you get conditional and they do a thorough investigation to see if marriage is genuine or of convenience if found guilty you will be deported and US citizen will be arrested
I had done my Mtech in urban transportation engineering from JNTU hyd. Looking forward to do my MS in USA. Will that be helpful?
Depends upon major and city.
Yes
Super informative..
👍🏻
I only see your ambition is to live in US nothing else. India is doing better , you will regret for not coming back to india. Get out of slavery mindset as you have better future in India. God bless you
Sure Veena, I understand your concern.
1 USD =rs 85 and plus US passports ranking
Hii brother i am planning for doing master in civil engineering in usa so you can tell me that which specialisation I can go for either construction or structure
Which specialisation help me to make good future in usa

Can u please tell me Brother

What's the fees range for day 1 cpt universities per year 🤔. I wanted to know do they charge fees equal to normal masters or charge less
It’s usually a little less than normal masters. As classes are on campus once a month. Happy to forward you info, email me at omkarhelps@gmail.com
@@ImmigrantTalks please give me a range on how much they charge per year so that I can decide whether to do it or not
Hello brother ! Great efforts, ❤ from India.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you have friends and family to talk though this, I have felt exactly how you did. It’s gets better with time trust me.
