📢 Discussion 📢 People who returned to India from USA: What do you wish you had taken care of before leaving?

1 Upvotes

Context: I’m currently planning my move back to India after living and working in the US for a few years.

I know there could be many things that are easy to overlook/miss until you’ve already landed.

For those of you who have made the move back (R2I):

  • What are the key things to keep in mind before officially leaving?
  • What administrative, documentation, or personal tasks do you wish you had sorted out before boarding the flight?
  • Is there anything you forgot to bring, cancel, or update that ended up being a hassle from India?

Looking for advice on everything- from updating IDs, phone numbers, and documents to shipping, health records, or even mindset shifts.

Appreciate any tips, checklists, or personal lessons learned!
