I too returned to India after spending a decade in the US and returned my green card to the US consulate in New Delhi. For me personally it was a good decision. I'm 41 now and planning to retire early in a few years. Early retirement is not possible in the US unless you're a millionaire.
How returning Green Card (which is personal choice) is relevant ? If you are not millionaire and still 'planning' early retirement which is few years away , you still have to 'work' somewhere. If you are salaried person , Saving in US will be more compare to India .If you have GC why not work couple more years , get USC and then move back?
I am moving back on March 2nd which is less than a week. I am a US citizen, I got all my university degrees here in US. I pretty much accomplished and proved in work environment what I wanted but during all these years even when I was a student here I was carrying some sort of psychological stress which sometimes disappears and then comes back which reminds me that you don't belong here. US is a market place very similar in nature like amazon and I think we student or employment based immigrants have a shelf life and if they live in US beyond their shelf life then they develop this stress. One more this stress that I am talking about only feel those who can think above and beyond and all they are not materialistic. Well this is a long and deep topic. By the way I am from Pakistan with family roots in UP India. Thank you
Sir ur video is amazing..I m also moving in april..my husband wants to stay here …waiting fr green card 😂..aapke video unhe dikhati hun..fr practical decision..bachhe yaha hum india mae ye mae kabhi nahi chahti..do roti aur har time family saath ho jaha wo america kya jannat hai ..
Your decision was perfect. Nothing is more important in life than family. Earning money can be done in India too. Pardes pardes hota hai. Let me tell you frankly Indians staying in America in there deep heart want to return back to India, but nobody confess easily. You made the right decision at the right time.
Many Indian think they are making sacrifice for their children settling abroad living lonely life because their children can live and work in USA. They miss the point their children grown in USA will have more lonely life compare to their lonely life in USA. Marraige is big problem for such children. In inddia parent do not want to marry their children to indian kid born and grown in USA. They will find from other ethnicity or american indian born and grown up in USA. The parent children relationship is not so deep in anglo saxon culture and these kids will be heavily influenced by this culture living in USA. India has much better family life compare to USA. It will not effect you if you grown in India and move to USA because in growing age you have good family life in India. Your second and third generation will not have this privilege.
Moved back to India 18 months ago after staying for more than 7 years. Moved back because of kids and old aged parents. It took 6 months for my son to adjust for 4th grade but he is doing fine now. I also wanted to retire early. I am 43 now and be able to retire in couple of years. To retire in US i got to work at least till 60. With india's bright future and infrastructure development there won't be lot of difference in lifestyle 10 years from now. Only thing that's precious is the time. If you have money you can buy time.
@pkmatta thanks for sharing. Great that you are able to early retire and do what is meaningful to you and family. I agree retiring in USA needs much higher corpse then India and people end up working till 60s. All the very best.
It is very clear that money, position and comfort doesn't bring happiness and peace. Staying with family, taking part in day to day events, festivals eating variety of food, wearing colorful clothes, being with grand parents, aunts and uncles brings happiness. Of course it is every individuals choice.
Thank you so much for posting this. It's not an easy decision. Having the opportunity to live in the US is great. But one thing you have done that I really admire is you made a conscious, well thought out decision that was right for you. Some get caught up and by the time we sit to choose it can be too late. Some stay for the children, but children grow and leave. Plus we don't get younger... Decision differs from person to person but in the end live where you feel most fulfilled.
Totally agree about children. Pawan's decision to leave USA seem to be around children. Assuming that the kid is US citizen, once she goes to college she will be back in the US. We all Indians have heard mentality, more and more Indians are coming to US. So it is very likely that you kid is going to go back to US.
What a clear thought you have! It takes courage to turn down the temptation of gaining citizenship of US. I am a chief engineer in merchant navy. Been going to shores of the world since 21 years. I have seen each continent and country where there is a port. Never ever thought of shifting to any other country despite having the opportunity in Canada,Singapore,Hongkong and recently an offer from Cyprus.
After reading your comment a song came to my mind , London dekha Paris dekha aur dekha Japan , saare jaha mein nahi hai dusra Hindustan, yeh duniya ek dulhan aur hai maathe ki bindiya , yeh mera India. I love my India😀
@@no-oneknows9236 Ha.ha 😀. Yes that's true. I started sailing in 2002 after completing my engineering. In my initial days I used to get charmed by the standard of foreign countries. But as I gained age and experience, I started evaluating the life quality in terms of many unseen factors and then I realized that somewhere India is also even handed. That was my thought 15 years back when we were not so much developing as much as now. I believe you have taken a right decision. The fruits will be evident in coming years.
Those countries don't offer PR for seafarers. Jumping ship and trying to establish legal residency is risky, ill advised and may even lead to your deportation.
@@asyongmatipid2 are you a seafarer? If yes, then clearly you don't have an idea of shore jobs in the above mentioned countries. If not then please know that I have been in the industry for 2 decades and I very well know the international laws.
Good decision buddy. I have been living in the US on and off for over 30 years. I left US, moved to india and moved back a few times. I only applied for my green card in late 2000s and got it just couple of years ago after 12 years. I am semi-retired now and tail end of my 50s and only reason I am sticking around to get my US citizenship iss because I have vested more in the US than India and it makes it tough from financial mobility if I abandon US citizenship and they are making it tougher and tougher. I don't have a family so have lot more flexibility. One thing I found very difficult during the 90s and 2000s was travel and employment between US and India. Companies back then paid me differently in india if I have a green card vs not having a green card. I found my friends who had green card got a sweet 'expat' package working in India vs for the same job I was offerred a lot less (indian package) as the IT employerss found that I was not that 'mobile'. Obviously most companies were servicing US clients and without greencard they have to file H1B or get me business visas. Even the product companies that just wants indian employees would see having a green card as some kind of "additional skill" that would benefit them so there was a "premium" attached to it. Another bizarre thing I noticed was indian employers always ask you "what is your story?" if you have given up your greencard. And they all ask these questions in a indian sort of way and this story you just told us in this video will have to explained over and over again. The only time this works in your favor is if you are financially independant and are out of the rat race. Even there if you are a businessman and entrepreneur the freedom you get by having a "green card" or a US citizenship is lot more than a Indian passport. I knnow it makes me sick how the world is organized but when you travel around the world especially in asia and latin america or even in europe ssometimes the pain that a indian passport holder has togo is lot more. Again if you are not a bussiness traveller or you dont have products or stuff you want to sell to europe or north america you dont have to worry about this stuff. You will be amazed how much value the chinese give to a american passport or green card holder vs a Indian businessman. Finally, You did a great thing moving the kids at a earlier stage. You can imagine 90% of my indian friends who live in the US have faced the same decisions. Have several who have moved sslightly later in stage and the kids are sometimes in miserable state of mind. Lot of the young ones who grew up the US find take long to adjust and depending on your home nurture some hate India and can't wait to come back to the US straining parent-children relationships. Lot of the kids whose children moved to india at 10 or so come back to the US to do their masters on their own but then finances and culture becomes a problem. A friend of mine moved back to the US to be with his kids and is miserable and rootless. So again you did hte right thing. Dont worry about it too much or most importantly dont analyze it or ever ever regret it. Like the american society leave your kids to their own and hope they make it in India but they are lucky to have two wonderful cultures and parent countries to host them. America is a amazing amazing country and has been veyr very good to me and it continues to shower itss love and blessingss to millions of indians like me and your dilemma is a "good delimma" to have and for that we should all be thankful to america. At same time India is a super amazing country too and I just hope we learn to embrace both these cultures and its people without judgment or bias. Jai Hind. God bless America.
Yup, having a tier-1 passport is a blessing in this day and age when you realize that even rich folks in India are moving their families and wealth to gain citizenship in the developed world. Even if you lose your Indian passport you can still live there long term anyways. And if things turn sour in the US it's easier to move elsewhere like getting Netherlands residency via DAFT with a small investment of just $4,500 and it too can lead to citizenship plus EU foothold.
@@asyongmatipid2 wow good to know. I have been thinking of NL for a long time. I have a friend there and heard so many wonderful things. What is a DAFT ? Can you send me few links and reading material ?
@@suerayss Dutch-American Friendship Treaty. You can also get Dutch Caribbean residency by legal declaration which doesn't entail any investments but physically residing in one of the islands for a certain number of years.
@@suerayss There's a lot of vlogs here on TH-cam about DAFT mostly from those who've been through the process. They also have links in the description box.
Filing 485 does not guarantee GC in year for Indians due to backlog/country cap. In current scenario , It makes sense to return to India and move on with life. As always grass looks green on other side :) With I140 approved , PD is locked , you can always apply for GC in future OR go for counsellor processing when FAD are current.
Hello there...watching from Tokyo, we were at similar crossroad 25 years ago in NYC, the company was willing to file a greencard however we wanted a more freedom on career locations and growth. With greencard you are stuck with the same firm. After looking at options, we left and move to Tokyo. BTW, I also had a Canadian Green Card but never return to neither place. You are making right decision, family 1st and time and health. Cheers brother.
Congratulations for being brave to take a decision following your heart 👍👍 My cousin sister and her family have also returned . They are very happy and we too . Her son has got admission in a good school. If you feel any strong connection with your mother land , your relations then it is of no use to be so called PRACTICAL to stay back in foreign country. Because you can effectively earn same lifestyle from your home comfort in today's work from anywhere system . If you do not have such emotion then I would suggest be PRACTICAL because material comfort is important for you . I think you belong to the first category. Listen to your heart.❤
Well explained: You did right thing purely befitting to Indian Culture ie.for the sake of future of your children.This is what responsible parenthood to turn your children into good civilized citizens with good education in their home land. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING.
I abandoned it 22 years back. My medical was done, all processes were completed, I nevertheless abandoned it. I did it so that no temptation can take me back to the USA. I had seen many people who returned back to india after getting their green card. Most of them went back to the USA before the expiry of their green card. I did not want to leave thar bridge in place. My daughter is a US citizen by birth and she is going back there in Aug for her Masters. Now she will decide for herself.
You moved back to India but you still have an ace up your sleeves since your daughter can sponsor you for a green card in the future if things don't turn out well for you back home and you decide to move back to the US for whatever reason.
Amazing Video! I have been in Canada for 14 years now and with god grace very well settled but there was always this emptiness that followed me. I never wanted to settle here as in very first year of my life here I figured that I will never feel like I belong here. My husband was hesitant to move to india till last year as like so many people he did not visit india after he moved here and was still living in a bubble that india is still same how it was 15 years ago but after observing how amazingly india is growing and developing he couldn’t help himself and decided to move back .
Well described. Family and friends suggest based on what every other person is doing being in the same boat. But, what matters to me is what I want make out of my life at various stages. I was able to make following decisions organically without anyone’s influence - I wanted to step out and explore student life in western world. - I wanted to work and make the most out of time. - I have enjoyed my married life with two kids on foreign soil. I’m not able to make one single decision despite of putting so much efforts into it that is going back and settling down in my hometown. I ask my brother, older parents, pretty much lost connection with most of my relatives- I get roomy gloomy messages and first of all I don’t understand why I’m relying on others feedback.
Thanks @Shiva for comment and sharing your experience. The decisions you made about the going and staying on western lands are different then coming back because there are so many people support moving to abroad decision and every other person wants to move to outside of India given the opportunity. I feel it glorification of other countries vs India. I will try to make a video on this topic. Thanks
America is place for saints, I mean if someone can enjoy the loneliness. I used word saint because life style in america is do your 8 hour job have dinner and go sleep.
@Sukhwinder ji , I feel Indians are very social and would love to interact with others. Sometime it can be poking a nose in others business. Isn’t it fun? 🤩. We live chaos and unpredictability, I think that is life unpredictable and full of surprises.
I live in US. Always having feelings of emptiness. Something is missing. But I have moved so ahead that I can't move back to India. Neither I can live not I can leave
Hi Maroon, Thanks for your comment. I can relate to you as I have few friends who wanted to move back but now their kids at the age where they need support and kids won’t be to adjust in India , so the option to move back is not feasible anymore. So they visit India more often like twice in a year. Sorry not trying to suggest you anything as you must be aware of all possible options but again every visit to India gives some comfort and keep the connection alive with family back home. All the best. You already know the
@@no-oneknows9236 I was pressurized to move abroad as all in my family had stereotypical thinking about greatness of US. But I never enjoy a single day here. Time has lapsed. Grief is that I live in trouble n will die with regret

While adding to my comment the ultimate fact is the U.S. life is like having a wonderful Dinner at a five star Hotel.After some time you will yearn to have a basic Dal chawal prepared in our Home.
Deep down all Indians greatly cherish the priceless civilizational valyes and knowledge of ours.That is the one that keeps talking to you about not letting your children havecthevteue access to this treasure growing up and so against all material logic you return ( as we soioo rightly did)
Thanks sir for sharing your story. I am on h1b and have US citizen kids. My elder daughter will go to 5 grade now. I think money will never be enough whether one is in India or US so for me the only doubt in moving back is how can I help my daughter adjust to education rigor of India let’s say when she will be in 6th grade. I fear she might lose her spark because of the educational burden due to this change. What is your experience and any tips here - may be a topic for a new video 😊 . Again thanks alot for the video and I feel it really helps many ppl think through their next steps 🙏🏼
You believe something and you did according to your belief thats bigger than anything in life. Because people think and plan many things to do but not all are achievable
Hi, Your videos are nice. I am thinking of moving back to India from Sweden, but have second thoughts for 2 things: 1. Cost of children education which is very expensive now. 2. Job security- how is job security for people in their 40s in India? Could you comment or make videos on this topic?
I took US citizenship and wanted to move my mother here but she refused. I visit her every year for 2-3 weeks and plan to take another job or consulting job so that I can spend 2-4 months with her in a year.
Very nice, So proud of you. Moving parents in old age is not possible and they won’t like it either. You are making adjustments in your life to make her comfortable 🙏 Thanks for sharing and inspiring us. There is a will there is a way. Keep it up 👍
I am in the same situation. One question - How did you handle the discussions with your good friends/well wishers in the US(who are staying back) who try to justify the advantages by living in the US? They express that they respect your decision but then still the discussions are there where they resist you to not go back.
@No One Knows - Thank you for the honest video. Highly appreciate it. I have two daughters - 13 years & 4 year old. I like living in the US (as of now). I believe that, my daughers will have better education, environment at a affordable price till they finish school (before college) in the US. To me cost of living in India has gone up for a decent life. I am trying for opportunities to move to the US, with very little success.. But If i miss this opportunity, I will not be able to to move there after 2 years, as i grow old. However, I have some elders at home, whom I am going to miss. What do you think I should be doing?
Really brave decision and great sir , don’t need to regret for anything , you did whatever you wanted to which makes you happy , anyways your kids already citizens they can go and stay in future and even if you get the Greencard which only make Ks you stay there , can please suggest me on this , I have H1b stamped but not going usa as of now because of current economic uncertainties , currently me and wife are working And have grown kids 9 years and 5 years , is it good recession to go and come back , incase if we come back in what is the correct time because my first son is already 9 now , if we go there are there any chances to stuck there ? How we can manage this ?
Canada just gave 10,000 visas for current US H1-B holders to move there on open work permits which also has a pathway for PR if I'm not mistaken. Did you apply for it coz from what I've read it was quite in demand that the visas ran out in 2 days.
Everyone needs to realize that you stayed enough time to be financially stable in India. Right decision for you…. But only time will tell if it was the right decision for your kids. Interesting story.
@Relaxcooking Thanks for your comment. How would you know what is financial stability for me 😀 ? Do you think people stay in US after certain number of years to be financially free and come back to India ? I agree with you no one knows right or wrong decision, but I feeling making a decision is more important then anything else let it be right or wrong.
Well I don't know about US or Canada never been there but my masala friends here and their masala gossips also the friend group here won't allow me to go anywhere. Because its dope here...
Thanks for your comment Vinod, I had very simple financial goal like no debt and have some money saved before returning to India. I have explained same in latest video. All the best.
If you really did what you felt good at that time, I dont see happiness in you either. I felt you regretted. May be I am wrong. But I dint blame u. In a way you did the right thing. You are not a slave anymore both spiritually and humanly. I hold citizenship after 23 years. It was long and boring. Lost touch with most of family and friends. They all moved on. If I want to go back now, which I contemplated for 20 odd years, I have to build all relationships almost from scratch. My only suggestion if you dont mind, you could have done this video with little cheer since you desparately wanted to be back. Tell me, are you happy you came back for whatever reasons you had? Are u enjoying the time? You should indeed. Take care my friend. Would like to meet you oneday in India. Whatever it may lead to I admire your boldness and independent thinking since I feel niw I should have had that. God bless you and you family. Cheers An unkniwn friend.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. I just one regret . Why I waited so long when I was always wanted to be back to India? I am usually cheerful may be the camera or a topic but good advice , I will make sure. I would love meet with you and thanks for blessing and encouragement.
Us was nice 20 years ago.. now you are only working like horse and no healt system well retirement is just a dream. I left us and back to my homeland i am so happy in my country.
If you file your 485 in California the current processing times says it will take 31 months as of today, July 6. Nowhere near 6-12 months like you might have expected. But I guess it depends on where you file it coz in other centers 6-12 is the norm.
@asyong Thanks for your comment, when I was suppose to file that time people were getting response in 6-12 months but It I would have decide to stay back then doesn’t matter if it take 1 or 2 years more as person wants to stay back in US.
I don't know what to comment but it is so deep!!!! Waiting for Green Card is nothing sacrificing your time (25's to 45's) which you will never get back. Parents will be getting older😢.
Hi Satya bhai , I feel there are few things in life we realize once we are very late in game. There is nothing more important then living the life you want.
You don’t have to explain it’s a choice … I am returning from EU after 12 yrs … it’s purely personal choice … you are way to matured to be entangled in visa discussions…. U love India 🇮🇳 that’s the whole point
Retirement amount is subjective to life style plus dependents and financial goals. Some shared this formula over the internet Yearly expenses x 30 = Survival amount Goals like kids education, marriage and good medical insurance.
@KannadaGowda There are many schools in Bangalore, it depends on the curriculum like CBSC ,ICSE or IGCSE and your location. People usually prefer school closer to their home.
@@no-oneknows9236 Thanks I am 40 years old now. When I was 18, I came to the USA with a Green card. After 5 years, I became a US citizen.

My parents are getting old, and if I come to India, I can look after them. Also, we have 25 acres of land." It is kind of difficult decision.
@KannadaGowda What is your children age ? Earlier the better. You can target IB/IGCSE schools, their curriculum and teaching pattern is similar to US. Here is the list yellowslate.com/blog/best-igcse-schools-in-bangalore Hope it helps and please let me if I can help you in any way. All the best.
Oh 5 year would be fine in either CBSE or IGCSE. I think you won’t have challenges in kids education. But you and family may some general adjustments challenges like traffic etc but that is all you work out.
Lets be honest your dates retrogressed ? and it does not make seance to wait .... from Indore too .... but would advice people waiting for GC backlogged to dont waist you time in US waiting for GC
Assuming you are eligible for citizenship at the right time (kids are not grown up yet) then would you suggest getting it? Another point, your/our kids can still choose to go to college to usa. If you don’t have unlimited visa (or citizenship) then you will be again far from your/our kids? If you have citizenship then you can easily go back to America anytime and stay for longer duration.
Same line of thought for me. What if my kids goes abroad to study and then decides to work and maybe even settle there, which actually many kids from India does now. The chance of them studying and settling in same country if they grew up in US is higher than if they grew up in India.
Thanks for your comment Farida ji. I told my daughters the reasons to move back and explained them whys. Kids opinion changes with time as they are exploring life and same goes for adults as well.
Look, this is a personal matter and should be made with you and family alone. No need to brag about it repeatedly. You will think you are helping others some how, forget about it.
Why? Canada is light years ahead of india .....i mean why you leaving Canada Apply job in nova Scotia power corporation halifax Canada,,, they pay u well :
Bhai, if I followed your story right... you always intended to return back to India while living in the US. Then why apply for a green card, or am I missing something?
Thanks @manuvns for your comment. I feel no one knows where the next generations future will be good. But again everyone have their own views on this. All the best 👍
What is your PD? Indians don't get GC easily. They are giving GC to 2012 filers now. First of all these people who returned never had any PR from USA. All these people were on temporary visas. There was never a question of you settling down in USA with out PR.
@@no-oneknows9236 TH-camrs trying to potray going back to India from USA as if they are permanent residents. Most of them are on H1B VISA who need to return to India if there visa is not extended.
Ok thanks. I was on visa and was at the stage to get GC as my PD was current for sometime but again I didn’t do anything Nobel , I returned without GC as I felt too much to deal with after getting GC. One of my friends recently surrendered his GC as living in India and maintaining GC is tough. Again people realize these things when they are there. Anyways I wish you all the best and may god bless you and family with good health and prosperity.
To raise daughters in USA is a big challenge. Therefore people with daughters would like to come back to India before they grow old. If you have full fledge green card grown up daughters would not agree for you to come back to India. This is the truth.
Thanks for your comment @AV47235.👍 I am not sure about challenges to raise daughters would be in US. I think it would more or less same as sons but I haven’t faced the situation yet as my kids are younger and I never thought about this aspect when returning to India.
@@Valsa2018 There is nothing specific. You won't loose your US citizenship. However, being citizen there are laws regarding filing your US taxes every year and your income outside US is also taxable in USA
You shouldnt haveabandoned the 485. You could have managed 6 months stay and could have applied for a Return visa when you needed to stay longer in India.

Thanks Sreenivas ji . Actually I felt it is loosing game. 1. If I would have moved family and stayed back to get GC then I would loose family time with my kids for 5 years.

Acoustic property within a car is amazing. That's why listening to music is an enhanced experience. ABBA used to play their new recording in a car before their final approval, remember?
People with PD earlier than you are still waiting for GC buddy... Please say the truth, you missed the boat and you didn't get GC... You 'hanging' around for 16 years in America proves that you badly wanted GC... Looks like you saying you don't regret, but you look like you do regret... Just be truthful... It's only noble thing, if you do that for others, not just for yourself or your kids...
@meetube30 you know a lot buddy. If ever you have been following the Bulletin , you would understand how PD progressed last couple of years and how GC was allotted randomly. Anyway , he does not need your validation to prove who he is. Keep living in a world believing that you know everything .
This rant is making no sense to me. Get skills and do the works remotely from India. Plain and simple. Such videos can be made by people who are at some low paid managerial/clerical positions in the industry.
Thanks Abhishek ji for your view and comment. Not sure how it sounded like rant to you, rant would be blaming the system but I didn’t do that at all. I just shared my green card experience so if anyone is in same boat can get perspective and learn from my mistake/wisdom. I personally know few folks who want to come back but green card is holding them back , so made the video. Not sure where the skill and work remotely discussion comes from. But I request you to make some videos on same help people to learn the skill and process. I wish you hold the best position possible in the industry and do much bette in your life🙏 I wouldn’t call any position in industry clerical or low level there is demand and there is supply and people are doing best to do those jobs so please don’t judge them. Please suggest topic if you would like me to talk about anything specific.

I am sure, you are doing good job and specially I have never seen you describing immigration is bad and reverse immigration to bad is good. You explain both side of the story , that why people listen you. Great job
I too returned to India after spending a decade in the US and returned my green card to the US consulate in New Delhi. For me personally it was a good decision. I'm 41 now and planning to retire early in a few years. Early retirement is not possible in the US unless you're a millionaire.
No wife no kids sure can
@@samtx I was married at that time with a 8 year old kid.
How returning Green Card (which is personal choice) is relevant ?
If you are not millionaire and still 'planning' early retirement which is few years away , you still have to 'work' somewhere.
If you are salaried person , Saving in US will be more compare to India .If you have GC why not work couple more years , get USC and then move back?
Saving in the USA is not easy. Percentage of living expense to salary is much higher than india. If u look at dollar amount it might look higher
YOU wasted your time ......
I am moving back on March 2nd which is less than a week. I am a US citizen, I got all my university degrees here in US. I pretty much accomplished and proved in work environment what I wanted but during all these years even when I was a student here I was carrying some sort of psychological stress which sometimes disappears and then comes back which reminds me that you don't belong here. US is a market place very similar in nature like amazon and I think we student or employment based immigrants have a shelf life and if they live in US beyond their shelf life then they develop this stress. One more this stress that I am talking about only feel those who can think above and beyond and all they are not materialistic. Well this is a long and deep topic. By the way I am from Pakistan with family roots in UP India. Thank you
Yes,we have to go back to our roots,where the true life exists..
Sir ur video is amazing..I m also moving in april..my husband wants to stay here …waiting fr green card 😂..aapke video unhe dikhati hun..fr practical decision..bachhe yaha hum india mae ye mae kabhi nahi chahti..do roti aur har time family saath ho jaha wo america kya jannat hai ..
Wow so nice thought 👏👏👌
@@bhavinmehta4238 thanku thanku😀
@comecircle Thanks for comment and sharing your experience. Very true about the shelf life.
🙏
Your decision was perfect. Nothing is more important in life than family. Earning money can be done in India too. Pardes pardes hota hai. Let me tell you frankly Indians staying in America in there deep heart want to return back to India, but nobody confess easily. You made the right decision at the right time.
Thanks appreciate your comment. 🙏
Many Indian think they are making sacrifice for their children settling abroad living lonely life because their children can live and work in USA. They miss the point their children grown in USA will have more lonely life compare to their lonely life in USA. Marraige is big problem for such children. In inddia parent do not want to marry their children to indian kid born and grown in USA. They will find from other ethnicity or american indian born and grown up in USA. The parent children relationship is not so deep in anglo saxon culture and these kids will be heavily influenced by this culture living in USA. India has much better family life compare to USA. It will not effect you if you grown in India and move to USA because in growing age you have good family life in India. Your second and third generation will not have this privilege.
Moved back to India 18 months ago after staying for more than 7 years. Moved back because of kids and old aged parents. It took 6 months for my son to adjust for 4th grade but he is doing fine now. I also wanted to retire early. I am 43 now and be able to retire in couple of years. To retire in US i got to work at least till 60. With india's bright future and infrastructure development there won't be lot of difference in lifestyle 10 years from now. Only thing that's precious is the time. If you have money you can buy time.
@pkmatta thanks for sharing. Great that you are able to early retire and do what is meaningful to you and family. I agree retiring in USA needs much higher corpse then India and people end up working till 60s.
All the very best.
This wisdom occurred to me before applying for green card...I came back...but it took 11 years for this gyaan to happen
Very nice Srinivas. Actually It takes time to generally understand the immigration process and your life goal 🙏
Thanks for your comment.
YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. YOU FOLLOWED YOUR HEART. DEEP DOWN... YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THAT
Thanks for your comment and appreciation
It is very clear that money, position and comfort doesn't bring happiness and peace. Staying with family, taking part in day to day events, festivals eating variety of food, wearing colorful clothes, being with grand parents, aunts and uncles brings happiness.
Of course it is every individuals choice.
Thanks Nalini ji for your comment.
I agree with you it is individual choice.
Exactly ...me too in the same path just planning hope the best.
Still you need to work and earn money the above activities will not pay your bills and daily expenses
Thank you so much for posting this. It's not an easy decision. Having the opportunity to live in the US is great. But one thing you have done that I really admire is you made a conscious, well thought out decision that was right for you. Some get caught up and by the time we sit to choose it can be too late. Some stay for the children, but children grow and leave. Plus we don't get younger... Decision differs from person to person but in the end live where you feel most fulfilled.
Well said. Thanks appreciate your comment.
Growing old in the US is not fun. Can’t get any good household help.
Totally agree about children. Pawan's decision to leave USA seem to be around children. Assuming that the kid is US citizen, once she goes to college she will be back in the US. We all Indians have heard mentality, more and more Indians are coming to US. So it is very likely that you kid is going to go back to US.
What a clear thought you have! It takes courage to turn down the temptation of gaining citizenship of US. I am a chief engineer in merchant navy. Been going to shores of the world since 21 years. I have seen each continent and country where there is a port. Never ever thought of shifting to any other country despite having the opportunity in Canada,Singapore,Hongkong and recently an offer from Cyprus.
Thanks Anand ji , appreciate your comment.
After reading your comment a song came to my mind , London dekha Paris dekha aur dekha Japan , saare jaha mein nahi hai dusra Hindustan, yeh duniya ek dulhan aur hai maathe ki bindiya , yeh mera India. I love my India😀
@@no-oneknows9236 Ha.ha 😀. Yes that's true. I started sailing in 2002 after completing my engineering. In my initial days I used to get charmed by the standard of foreign countries. But as I gained age and experience, I started evaluating the life quality in terms of many unseen factors and then I realized that somewhere India is also even handed. That was my thought 15 years back when we were not so much developing as much as now. I believe you have taken a right decision. The fruits will be evident in coming years.
Those countries don't offer PR for seafarers. Jumping ship and trying to establish legal residency is risky, ill advised and may even lead to your deportation.
@@asyongmatipid2 are you a seafarer? If yes, then clearly you don't have an idea of shore jobs in the above mentioned countries. If not then please know that I have been in the industry for 2 decades and I very well know the international laws.
Good decision buddy. I have been living in the US on and off for over 30 years. I left US, moved to india and moved back a few times. I only applied for my green card in late 2000s and got it just couple of years ago after 12 years. I am semi-retired now and tail end of my 50s and only reason I am sticking around to get my US citizenship iss because I have vested more in the US than India and it makes it tough from financial mobility if I abandon US citizenship and they are making it tougher and tougher. I don't have a family so have lot more flexibility.
One thing I found very difficult during the 90s and 2000s was travel and employment between US and India. Companies back then paid me differently in india if I have a green card vs not having a green card. I found my friends who had green card got a sweet 'expat' package working in India vs for the same job I was offerred a lot less (indian package) as the IT employerss found that I was not that 'mobile'. Obviously most companies were servicing US clients and without greencard they have to file H1B or get me business visas. Even the product companies that just wants indian employees would see having a green card as some kind of "additional skill" that would benefit them so there was a "premium" attached to it.
Another bizarre thing I noticed was indian employers always ask you "what is your story?" if you have given up your greencard. And they all ask these questions in a indian sort of way and this story you just told us in this video will have to explained over and over again.
The only time this works in your favor is if you are financially independant and are out of the rat race. Even there if you are a businessman and entrepreneur the freedom you get by having a "green card" or a US citizenship is lot more than a Indian passport. I knnow it makes me sick how the world is organized but when you travel around the world especially in asia and latin america or even in europe ssometimes the pain that a indian passport holder has togo is lot more. Again if you are not a bussiness traveller or you dont have products or stuff you want to sell to europe or north america you dont have to worry about this stuff.
You will be amazed how much value the chinese give to a american passport or green card holder vs a Indian businessman.
Finally, You did a great thing moving the kids at a earlier stage. You can imagine 90% of my indian friends who live in the US have faced the same decisions. Have several who have moved sslightly later in stage and the kids are sometimes in miserable state of mind. Lot of the young ones who grew up the US find take long to adjust and depending on your home nurture some hate India and can't wait to come back to the US straining parent-children relationships.
Lot of the kids whose children moved to india at 10 or so come back to the US to do their masters on their own but then finances and culture becomes a problem. A friend of mine moved back to the US to be with his kids and is miserable and rootless. So again you did hte right thing. Dont worry about it too much or most importantly dont analyze it or ever ever regret it.
Like the american society leave your kids to their own and hope they make it in India but they are lucky to have two wonderful cultures and parent countries to host them.
America is a amazing amazing country and has been veyr very good to me and it continues to shower itss love and blessingss to millions of indians like me and your dilemma is a "good delimma" to have and for that we should all be thankful to america. At same time India is a super amazing country too and I just hope we learn to embrace both these cultures and its people without judgment or bias. Jai Hind. God bless America.
Yup, having a tier-1 passport is a blessing in this day and age when you realize that even rich folks in India are moving their families and wealth to gain citizenship in the developed world. Even if you lose your Indian passport you can still live there long term anyways. And if things turn sour in the US it's easier to move elsewhere like getting Netherlands residency via DAFT with a small investment of just $4,500 and it too can lead to citizenship plus EU foothold.
@@asyongmatipid2 wow good to know. I have been thinking of NL for a long time. I have a friend there and heard so many wonderful things. What is a DAFT ? Can you send me few links and reading material ?
America is the worst country.
@@suerayss Dutch-American Friendship Treaty. You can also get Dutch Caribbean residency by legal declaration which doesn't entail any investments but physically residing in one of the islands for a certain number of years.
@@suerayss There's a lot of vlogs here on TH-cam about DAFT mostly from those who've been through the process. They also have links in the description box.
Filing 485 does not guarantee GC in year for Indians due to backlog/country cap.
In current scenario , It makes sense to return to India and move on with life. As always grass looks green on other side :)
With I140 approved , PD is locked , you can always apply for GC in future OR go for counsellor processing when FAD are current.
Thanks for your comment and appreciation but when you made up mind all these doesn’t matter anymore.
Hello there...watching from Tokyo, we were at similar crossroad 25 years ago in NYC, the company was willing to file a greencard however we wanted a more freedom on career locations and growth. With greencard you are stuck with the same firm. After looking at options, we left and move to Tokyo. BTW, I also had a Canadian Green Card but never return to neither place. You are making right decision, family 1st and time and health. Cheers brother.
Thanks appreciate your comment. 👍
Congratulations for being brave to take a decision following your heart 👍👍 My cousin sister and her family have also returned . They are very happy and we too . Her son has got admission in a good school. If you feel any strong connection with your mother land , your relations then it is of no use to be so called PRACTICAL to stay back in foreign country. Because you can effectively earn same lifestyle from your home comfort in today's work from anywhere system .
If you do not have such emotion then I would suggest be PRACTICAL because material comfort is important for you .
I think you belong to the first category. Listen to your heart.❤
Thanks for your comment @sudesh. Being practical is basically burying your emotions deep down.
What you have done is absolutely right . Because everyone should follow our heart's descision . You did it . Good 👍
Thanks for your comment and appreciation
I sincerely think it was a wise decision for various reasons to come back to India. You will agree there is a feeling of peace by doing so.
Thanks for your comment Sellvaraj
Well explained: You did right thing purely befitting to Indian Culture ie.for the sake of future of your children.This is what responsible parenthood to turn your children into good civilized citizens with good education in their home land. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING.

Now a days Life expectancy is just 70 _ 80 yrs thus we most nt be confused bt prioritise our internal happyness.
@Sasmita, thanks for your comment and I agree priority of life should be happiness.
I abandoned it 22 years back. My medical was done, all processes were completed, I nevertheless abandoned it. I did it so that no temptation can take me back to the USA.
I had seen many people who returned back to india after getting their green card. Most of them went back to the USA before the expiry of their green card. I did not want to leave thar bridge in place.
My daughter is a US citizen by birth and she is going back there in Aug for her Masters. Now she will decide for herself.
Thanks Gen Xer for your comment and sharing your story.
I did exactly same to have no temptation, nice to know someone else thinks like it.
Same story here. I abandoned my GC too. The best days of the USA are in her past. Hopefully my daughter will come to the same conclusion
You moved back to India but you still have an ace up your sleeves since your daughter can sponsor you for a green card in the future if things don't turn out well for you back home and you decide to move back to the US for whatever reason.
@@asyongmatipid2 Thanks for your comment. I am happy here in India but yeah she can sponsor in future.
Good to know. So your daughter didn't go for US undergrad. ?
Amazing Video! I have been in Canada for 14 years now and with god grace very well settled but there was always this emptiness that followed me. I never wanted to settle here as in very first year of my life here I figured that I will never feel like I belong here. My husband was hesitant to move to india till last year as like so many people he did not visit india after he moved here and was still living in a bubble that india is still same how it was 15 years ago but after observing how amazingly india is growing and developing he couldn’t help himself and decided to move back .
All the very best and thanks for your comment🙏
Well described. Family and friends suggest based on what every other person is doing being in the same boat. But, what matters to me is what I want make out of my life at various stages.
I was able to make following decisions organically without anyone’s influence
- I wanted to step out and explore student life in western world.
- I wanted to work and make the most out of time.
- I have enjoyed my married life with two kids on foreign soil.
I’m not able to make one single decision despite of putting so much efforts into it that is going back and settling down in my hometown.
I ask my brother, older parents, pretty much lost connection with most of my relatives- I get roomy gloomy messages and first of all I don’t understand why I’m relying on others feedback.
Thanks @Shiva for comment and sharing your experience.
The decisions you made about the going and staying on western lands are different then coming back because there are so many people support moving to abroad decision and every other person wants to move to outside of India given the opportunity.
I feel it glorification of other countries vs India.
I will try to make a video on this topic. Thanks
America is place for saints, I mean if someone can enjoy the loneliness. I used word saint because life style in america is do your 8 hour job have dinner and go sleep.
@Sukhwinder ji , I feel Indians are very social and would love to interact with others. Sometime it can be poking a nose in others business.
Isn’t it fun? 🤩.
We live chaos and unpredictability, I think that is life unpredictable and full of surprises.
It’s nice and peaceful
You're right 😊
I live in US. Always having feelings of emptiness. Something is missing. But I have moved so ahead that I can't move back to India. Neither I can live not I can leave
Hi Maroon, Thanks for your comment.
I can relate to you as I have few friends who wanted to move back but now their kids at the age where they need support and kids won’t be to adjust in India , so the option to move back is not feasible anymore.
So they visit India more often like twice in a year. Sorry not trying to suggest you anything as you must be aware of all possible options but again every visit to India gives some comfort and keep the connection alive with family back home.
All the best.

While adding to my comment the ultimate fact is the U.S. life is like having a wonderful Dinner at a five star Hotel.After some time you will yearn to have a basic Dal chawal prepared in our Home.
So true sir 👍
and living in India is like being inside a toilet; after enough smell you’ll want to get the f*ck OUT😂😂😂😂
Deep down all Indians greatly cherish the priceless civilizational valyes and knowledge of ours.That is the one that keeps talking to you about not letting your children havecthevteue access to this treasure growing up and so against all material logic you return ( as we soioo rightly did)
Thanks sir for sharing your story. I am on h1b and have US citizen kids. My elder daughter will go to 5 grade now. I think money will never be enough whether one is in India or US so for me the only doubt in moving back is how can I help my daughter adjust to education rigor of India let’s say when she will be in 6th grade. I fear she might lose her spark because of the educational burden due to this change. What is your experience and any tips here - may be a topic for a new video 😊 . Again thanks alot for the video and I feel it really helps many ppl think through their next steps 🙏🏼
You believe something and you did according to your belief thats bigger than anything in life. Because people think and plan many things to do but not all are achievable
A well thought out decision.
Hi,
Your videos are nice. I am thinking of moving back to India from Sweden, but have second thoughts for 2 things:
1. Cost of children education which is very expensive now.
2. Job security- how is job security for people in their 40s in India?
Could you comment or make videos on this topic?
Thanks for your comment Rakesh , let me make a video on these topics.
I took US citizenship and wanted to move my mother here but she refused. I visit her every year for 2-3 weeks and plan to take another job or consulting job so that I can spend 2-4 months with her in a year.
Very nice, So proud of you. Moving parents in old age is not possible and they won’t like it either.
You are making adjustments in your life to make her comfortable 🙏

thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I am in the same situation. One question -
How did you handle the discussions with your good friends/well wishers in the US(who are staying back) who try to justify the advantages by living in the US? They express that they respect your decision but then still the discussions are there where they resist you to not go back.
Thanks Amol, that would be good topic for my next video. Let me put it together
Can you share the your experience about kids adjusting to Indian environment especially the school.
@No One Knows - Thank you for the honest video. Highly appreciate it. I have two daughters - 13 years & 4 year old. I like living in the US (as of now). I believe that, my daughers will have better education, environment at a affordable price till they finish school (before college) in the US. To me cost of living in India has gone up for a decent life. I am trying for opportunities to move to the US, with very little success.. But If i miss this opportunity, I will not be able to to move there after 2 years, as i grow old. However, I have some elders at home, whom I am going to miss. What do you think I should be doing?
Thanks for your comment Sriram. Cost of living is gone up in USA as well. Please check before making any decision.
Don't CONFUSED YOURSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.
😀 Thanks for your comment and appreciation,
I would take it as complement as I am provoking thoughts.
Really brave decision and great sir , don’t need to regret for anything , you did whatever you wanted to which makes you happy , anyways your kids already citizens they can go and stay in future and even if you get the Greencard which only make Ks you stay there , can please suggest me on this , I have H1b stamped but not going usa as of now because of current economic uncertainties , currently me and wife are working And have grown kids 9 years and 5 years , is it good recession to go and come back , incase if we come back in what is the correct time because my first son is already 9 now , if we go there are there any chances to stuck there ? How we can manage this ?
Canada just gave 10,000 visas for current US H1-B holders to move there on open work permits which also has a pathway for PR if I'm not mistaken. Did you apply for it coz from what I've read it was quite in demand that the visas ran out in 2 days.
Good decision
what a brave decision.
Thanks Nikolai. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement.
After 42 years, moving back to India next year to retire in custom home!
Thanks for your comment. All the very best 👍
Everyone needs to realize that you stayed enough time to be financially stable in India. Right decision for you…. But only time will tell if it was the right decision for your kids. Interesting story.
@Relaxcooking Thanks for your comment.
How would you know what is financial stability for me 😀 ?
Do you think people stay in US after certain number of years to be financially free and come back to India ?
I agree with you no one knows right or wrong decision, but I feeling making a decision is more important then anything else let it be right or wrong.
Well I don't know about US or Canada never been there but my masala friends here and their masala gossips also the friend group here won't allow me to go anywhere. Because its dope here...

Thankyou for your honest views.
I am sure you have achieved your financial goals and decided to shift...i stand to be corrected if otherwise.All the best.
Thanks for your comment Vinod, I had very simple financial goal like no debt and have some money saved before returning to India.
I have explained same in latest video.
All the best.
If you really did what you felt good at that time, I dont see happiness in you either. I felt you regretted. May be I am wrong. But I dint blame u. In a way you did the right thing. You are not a slave anymore both spiritually and humanly. I hold citizenship after 23 years. It was long and boring. Lost touch with most of family and friends. They all moved on. If I want to go back now, which I contemplated for 20 odd years, I have to build all relationships almost from scratch. My only suggestion if you dont mind, you could have done this video with little cheer since you desparately wanted to be back. Tell me, are you happy you came back for whatever reasons you had? Are u enjoying the time? You should indeed.
Take care my friend. Would like to meet you oneday in India.
Whatever it may lead to I admire your boldness and independent thinking since I feel niw I should have had that.
God bless you and you family. Cheers

If you file your 485 in California the current processing times says it will take 31 months as of today, July 6. Nowhere near 6-12 months like you might have expected. But I guess it depends on where you file it coz in other centers 6-12 is the norm.
@asyong Thanks for your comment, when I was suppose to file that time people were getting response in 6-12 months but It I would have decide to stay back then doesn’t matter if it take 1 or 2 years more as person wants to stay back in US.

Hey great video, What do you think is the best time to enrol child in school specially if you are returning from overseas ?
Usually school start enrollment in Nov-Dec time , it is better to be early.
I don't know what to comment but it is so deep!!!! Waiting for Green Card is nothing sacrificing your time (25's to 45's) which you will never get back. Parents will be getting older😢.

Not sure if you are a parent but I would not call anyone’s kid anchor.

I am also in same boat. Planning to come back to India. But I don’t know how much money do I need to retire in India.
Retirement amount is subjective to life style plus dependents and financial goals.
Some shared this formula over the internet
Yearly expenses x 30 = Survival amount
Goals like kids education, marriage and good medical insurance.
I would have taken it because people tend to get a higher c2c in India if they have green cards.
I don’t think GC have any impact on your Indian CTC, it just gives you flexibility to travel to US.
What is the best school in Bangalore or any other state if you go back to India with your children.

Assuming you are eligible for citizenship at the right time (kids are not grown up yet) then would you suggest getting it?
Another point, your/our kids can still choose to go to college to usa. If you don’t have unlimited visa (or citizenship) then you will be again far from your/our kids? If you have citizenship then you can easily go back to America anytime and stay for longer duration.
I would suggest to take the citizenship in that case as you have aspirations to go back in future.
Thanks for your comment.
@@no-oneknows9236 thanks!
Same line of thought for me. What if my kids goes abroad to study and then decides to work and maybe even settle there, which actually many kids from India does now. The chance of them studying and settling in same country if they grew up in US is higher than if they grew up in India.
Ok wise man…. What happens to the social security that you have paid for , once you give up the green card. I think you loose it….. correct?
No idea about social security.
Kids age is one thing. How about our age .. can you talk about that .. if it played in making the decision.. also retirement in usa is expensive etc
Atleast you shud have taken your daughter's opinion on this n let her too decide on what she wants in her life n future.
Thanks for your comment Farida ji.
I told my daughters the reasons to move back and explained them whys.
Kids opinion changes with time as they are exploring life and same goes for adults as well.
It’s okay if you’re happy.

This is confusion 😢, you want to stay put in America for future generations if you file green card
Thanks @manuvns for your comment. I feel no one knows where the next generations future will be good. But again everyone have their own views on this.
All the best 👍

What is your PD? Indians don't get GC easily. They are giving GC to 2012 filers now. First of all these people who returned never had any PR from USA. All these people were on temporary visas. There was never a question of you settling down in USA with out PR.
Thanks for your comment, I am not sure what are you trying to say, based on Indians getting GC.
@@no-oneknows9236 TH-camrs trying to potray going back to India from USA as if they are permanent residents. Most of them are on H1B VISA who need to return to India if there visa is not extended.
Ok thanks. I was on visa and was at the stage to get GC as my PD was current for sometime but again I didn’t do anything Nobel , I returned without GC as I felt too much to deal with after getting GC.
One of my friends recently surrendered his GC as living in India and maintaining GC is tough.
Again people realize these things when they are there.
Anyways I wish you all the best and may god bless you and family with good health and prosperity.
@@no-oneknows9236getting GC is tougher than maintaining GC for those born in India
Your kid can chose later … while u stay in India 🇮🇳
Thanks for asking this question. I wanted to make a video on this question because it can’t be yes or no kind of answer.👍
To raise daughters in USA is a big challenge. Therefore people with daughters would like to come back to India before they grow old. If you have full fledge green card grown up daughters would not agree for you to come back to India. This is the truth.
Thanks for your comment @AV47235.👍
I am not sure about challenges to raise daughters would be in US.
I think it would more or less same as sons but I haven’t faced the situation yet as my kids are younger and I never thought about this aspect when returning to India.
all good.. but what's with the accent bhai.. :D :(
😀 Sangati ka asar
Raising children in US culture was a big No for me..gune Culture, woke culture No No
Uff the video is so slow! played it at 2x and still felt it slow.
Thanks for your comment 😀 hope TH-cam brings 10x speed option soon .
😀 Slow like GC priority date movement
if you can't appreciate mam, learn to keep quiet. Silence is golden.
I am a US citizen and stuck here. What do I have to do if I move to India to keep my US citizenship?
If you move to India , there is no impact on your US citizenship. You just need to apply for OCI to live in India.

What do I have to do to keep US citizenship?
@@Valsa2018 There is nothing specific. You won't loose your US citizenship. However, being citizen there are laws regarding filing your US taxes every year and your income outside US is also taxable in USA
You shouldnt haveabandoned the 485. You could have managed 6 months stay and could have applied for a Return visa when you needed to stay longer in India.
@krishna It is possible but I thought it is too much to deal with , every 6 months traveling and then ended up not settling in India.
Thanks for your comment 🙏
@@no-oneknows9236 Yes. You cant get everything in life. You had your share of life in USA and not its turn to stay in India. Your kids will always have their opportunities given that they are citizens of USA. With gods blessings, you might get another chance.
Wish you got to the point sooner.
Thanks for your comment.
@@no-oneknows9236 I think I should have started with “I love your videos and deeply appreciate the time you put into them” and there are places where it can be shortened..
Sorry I feel for your situation,I am not judging but I would waited for Green card and then moved family to India ,while you stayed back 5 yrs got your citizenship and then made that call if you want to live in USA or India, you would have left all options open but now you closed the channel.
Thanks Sreenivas ji . Actually I felt it is loosing game.
1. If I would have moved family and stayed back to get GC then I would loose family time with my kids for 5 years. Which can’t be gained back.
2. The decision I took I will loose Green Card. I feel green card is something I can get again in future if I really want to.
Thanks appreciate your comment.
I have been through those phases , now I am citizen and visit India every yr and still home country, no place is better than home good luck.
@@Sreenivas821 thanks Sreenivas ji. Appreciate you sharing your view , it will definitely help viewer.
There are always many solutions to a problem , every individual choose as per their situation, so bringing those possibilities is always good 👍.
I feel both are equally important karm bhumi and janam bhumi 🙏🙏
Green card choda toh Accent bhi chod doh na bhai
@Kai , Hahaha 🤣, One thing at a time
Now you started talking about elephant in the room. Abi tak to aap time pass kar rahe the 😂
😀 Hope I did justice with the topic.
Thanks for your comment.
@@no-oneknows9236 it's hard to say for me. My priority date is 2022 so I don't think I'll ever be in your shoes haha
-Shitizenship- Citizenship.
😀
😂😂
did you say shitizenship?😅
😀
Would you trust anyone who makes a video sitting in a car?
So you would only trust people who has high camera quality or fancy background. Why so negative dude ? He is just sharing his thoughts and not pushing anyone to do the same.
At the end use your own brain what you want to do rather than wining about why is he making a video from his car .. blah blah blah
@xx xx
😀 I wouldn’t trust anyone regardless background is car or fancy studio.
I would go by my gut feel 🙏
Thanks for your comment and time spent to watch my video, may god brings you what you looking for.
Thanks @ Amisha for your comment and understanding my point of view. As I named my channel no one knows what is right or wrong so just follow your heart.
Acoustic property within a car is amazing. That's why listening to music is an enhanced experience. ABBA used to play their new recording in a car before their final approval, remember?
People with PD earlier than you are still waiting for GC buddy... Please say the truth, you missed the boat and you didn't get GC... You 'hanging' around for 16 years in America proves that you badly wanted GC... Looks like you saying you don't regret, but you look like you do regret... Just be truthful... It's only noble thing, if you do that for others, not just for yourself or your kids...
😀 Thanks for your comment , it seems you know all buddy.
May god bless you and your family with best.
@@no-oneknows9236 wish you the same wishes back
@meetube30 you know a lot buddy. If ever you have been following the Bulletin , you would understand how PD progressed last couple of years and how GC was allotted randomly. Anyway , he does not need your validation to prove who he is. Keep living in a world believing that you know everything .
This rant is making no sense to me.
Get skills and do the works remotely from India. Plain and simple.
Such videos can be made by people who are at some low paid managerial/clerical positions in the industry.
Thanks Abhishek ji for your view and comment.
Not sure how it sounded like rant to you, rant would be blaming the system but I didn’t do that at all.
I just shared my green card experience so if anyone is in same boat can get perspective and learn from my mistake/wisdom. I personally know few folks who want to come back but green card is holding them back , so made the video.
Not sure where the skill and work remotely discussion comes from. But I request you to make some videos on same help people to learn the skill and process.
I wish you hold the best position possible in the industry and do much bette in your life🙏
I wouldn’t call any position in industry clerical or low level there is demand and there is supply and people are doing best to do those jobs so please don’t judge them.
Please suggest topic if you would like me to talk about anything specific.
Pavan, please don’t care. You are doing a wonderful work. Bringing like minded people together and making them realize that the void they feel abroad happens to many. Let others who finds it a rant skip the video. Thanks.
Pravin, don't get into too much explanation if someone couldn't understand the perspective of your video and talk. I am sure, you are doing good job and specially I have never seen you describing immigration is bad and reverse immigration to bad is good. You explain both side of the story , that why people listen you. Great job
😂lol managers are higher paid than engineer
@@NaseemKhan-zd5gq thanks Naseem bhai 🙏
Stop beating around the bush and get to the point sooner
