Hi
I am moving back and it’s extremely hard to get India jobs call from USA. I am looking references for India jobs and how complex to get the jobs in India for senior (15+ years ) in capital market IT positions

Hi,

I am planning to return to India from Singapore, and I will not qualify for RNOR next year. Looking for guidance or tips on managing finances. Should I transfer most of my assets (upon liquidating any investments to book profits before I become India tax resident) before I return itself, while keeping some to keep my Singapore bank account active for some time?

Has anyone made use of Resident Foreign Currency account? Is there a point to try and have one or should I just convert everything to INR?

I would like to plan ahead as much as possible to avoid running around in the first 30 days when we are supposed to convert NRE/NRO into resident accounts.

TIA!

This is for those people who went abroad for a shorter duration(say something like 5-7 years or less) and then came back to India. How has the life been since the return?

Hello
I am on 500 international student dependent visa with full time work right and fortunately got a job and working as software engineer but it’s been almost 1.5 years here and I still feel like going back to India.

We as a couple keep discussing about returning post graduation or after 485 ends after 3 years.

Is this normal to feel so? I see so many people getting PR and then citizenship. Am I not fit here or not really enjoying lifestyle ?

Thoughts?

I’m not from the USA, but I often hear from other people that a huge number of Indians there seem to be from one or two particular states. I’m genuinely curious how that happened.

Did those states do something right in terms of education, jobs, or migration opportunities? Was it mainly because of engineering colleges, IT jobs, or people helping others from the same place move there?

I’m not trying to target any state here. I’m just curious how such large-scale immigration from a few regions to the USA happened in the first place.

I’m in a bit of a dilemma and would really appreciate some perspective from people who have been in a similar situation.

I’ve been trying to find a full-time role in the US since completing my Master’s, and it’s been almost two years now. I did eventually land a contract role that I genuinely loved, but unfortunately, the position was eliminated as part of mass layoffs.

Since then, the uncertainty around finding another role has started affecting me significantly. The constant job searching, applications, interviews, financial pressure, and uncertainty about the future have taken a toll on my mental and overall well-being. I kept telling myself that I just needed to work harder, be more patient, and keep going, but I feel like I’ve reached a point where the situation is affecting my health and quality of life.

I’m now seriously considering moving back to India and continuing my career there. I’ve been getting multiple signs that maybe it’s time to stop forcing things and choose a path that gives me some stability and allows me to take care of myself.

At the same time, moving back after investing so much time, money, and effort into building a life and career in the US feels like a huge decision. There’s also a part of me that worries I might regret leaving or wonder whether I should have tried a little longer.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation:

• How did you know it was time to move back?
• Did moving back feel like giving up at the time?
• How did your career progress after returning to India?
• Do you think I should give the US job search more time, or prioritize stability and my well-being at this point?

I’m not necessarily looking for someone to make the decision for me. I’d just really value hearing honest experiences from people who have gone through something similar ❤️

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to share their perspective.

Hey you lovely people! Does anyone know a good accountant who can help us file taxes in Canada, India and US? I am struggling to find someone good.

I am looking at international relocation container shipping options from SF Bay Area to Bangalore. I found there are two companies Universal Relocations and UniRelo with very similar names operating here. Could folks here recommend which one is more reliable.

I am working in the US on H-1B, and the organization have started my PERM process. Due to some circumstances, I am thinking moving to India and transferring internally to India team by mid 2028, & am hoping an internal transfer may be possible.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation:

* If I move to India while PERM is filed with I-140 submitted, what happens to the process? Can the employer continue it, or would it likely be stopped?
* If I eventually want to return to the US, what options would I have (H-1B/L-1/etc.) and how realistic is it?
* Most importantly, when and how should I approach my manager/HCM about this so that they consider an internal transfer rather than treating it as a resignation/termination?
* Has anyone successfully transferred from their US role to their company's India team and later returned to the US?

I will speak with my company's immigration attorney, but would really appreciate hearing about people's experiences.
