A senior financial analyst from India has shared his 'brutal' experience after being laid off from his job in the US, where he has been living on an H-1B visa. The man, who has over six years of experience in the finance sector, revealed that he has been struggling to find a new job and is now considering moving back to India.
His wife, who is currently in India, had submitted an application for an H4 dependent visa following the extension of his H-1B visa until 2031, but unfortunately, it was denied. This has left the couple in a long-distance relationship for almost two years, and the emotional toll is taking a significant impact on the man.
He has started contemplating the possibility of returning to India, citing it as a decision that aligns with his current life circumstances. However, he has several questions and is uncertain about whom to approach for answers, including whether US experience is valued in India and which cities make sense for his profile.
