    (B) Get a job anywhere in USA
    (C) Get *H1-B* approved
    ( *This one is the most important Goal* ).

    Simultaneously make eloberate plans to return back to India within 5 years
    ✈️

    -
    H1-B approved
    Enjoy the influx of Green Currency. Buy a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic or Nissan Altima
    Also, buy a property somewhere in India


    Invite Parents from India on Visitor Visas.

    Take them on the
    *Char Dhaam Yatra*-
    *Niagara Falls*
    *Statue of Liberty*
    *Charging Bull in the Wall Street*
    *White House*



    Go to India, finalize a Girl, and get married in 3 weeks - Of course it's the arranged marriage way !!
    Come Back to the USA with your newly-married Spouse


    During weekends and lunchtime with other Indian friends, endlessly discuss 3 topics
    (A) When are you going to get your Green Card, and what is your priority date currently?

    (B) How Modi is transforming India

    (C) Cricket Buy another property in India

    -
    Buy a Home in the U.S Have 2 kids. Spend the next 15 years dropping them off to various Classes, attending Birthday parties, and visiting Home Depot for various Home projects

    *Step 7* -
    Green card waiting is over.

    *8*
    By the time, you are in 40s, you have saved enough Funds. The plan for returning back to India, has not worked out. Now find new ways to spend money.
    Buy a Tesla or BMW or Mercedes Also your India Properties aren't lucrative anymore as INR has further depreciated against USD so enroll into a difficult struggle of selling off the properties in India,
    paying a hefty *Capital Gains Tax* in India & remitting the funds back to the United States

    *9*
    Now comes the time for a Midlife crisis. Another shiny new Car, bigger Home, Green Card, and a High-paying job doesn't add anymore substance to your life. Now do something exotic to add flavor to your existence. A Marathon Race, intermittent fasting
    (or ) maybe opening a new start-up

    *10*
    In your 50s and 60s, after your kids have graduated from Stanford or MIT or Princeton, discuss how your life would have been Very different, had you returned to India 5 years after coming to the USA


    *Step 11*

    Start rediscovering India and share with friends back in the USA how India has improved a lot in the recent Decades

    *Step 12*
    When Functional Mobility decreases - ponder over the big Question - whether to
    Go back to India (or)
    stay in an Old Age Home or Assisted-living in USA

    *Indian H1B Visa-holder's life in the USA in 12 Steps*

    For some reason everyone from my family who visits US has to go to Pittsburgh Balaji temple. When I point out that they regularly go to Tirupati itself they start grumbling but still insist on going.
