Hello
How to come in America

 

Please stay in India, do not come to America. Life is VERY different on the different sides of the world.

 

MOD NOTE: Moved to Off-Topic.

 

Live the American Dream!

 

This is not a good place to ask for that kind of advice. Most people here will have zero clue because they have never needed to be involved with that process.

Google will give you much better information. You can also go to websites like the USCIS website which has lots of very detailed information.

But this might be a useful data point for you -- Let's say that you are the sibling of a U.S. citizen that has sponsored your immigration (meaning that they have entered into a binding contract to support you, if necessary to keep you from becoming a burden on the public), then you will just now be getting your visa number so that you can finally come here legally if your visa application was approved on or before 15 September 2005. That's right, sponsored siblings from India just entering the country now had their visas approved more than 18 years ago.

If you are just someone that wants to come here without being sponsored, you can expect a longer wait.

 

Or you can go into Canada, then walk in to the U.S. through an unmonitored border.

 

What is your purpose? They offer student visas, job visas, spouse visas, family visas etc. If you're looking opportunity for higher studies, you should start sending applications for admission to universities there.

 

There are many thousands of Indians living a successful life not only in the US but Canada. They have greatly contributed to those economies. A few weeks ago, I read that about 40% of technology startups had Indian CEOs.
On my personal front, 10 years ago I had a complex surgery to remove a tumor through my throat performed by an Indian surgeon. He also had studied plastic surgery, such that the 5 inch scar is all but invisible.

What is the secret for those successful Indians? I am going to put it in capital letters: THEY WERE HIGHLY EDUCATED ON LEADING FIELDS, meaning technology or medicine.

You want to come to America? Invest in your education. Be the absolutely very best in your class. Obtain advanced degrees. And the whole world will open their doors filled with red carpets for you.

Hello
How to come in America

As John Lennon said, "Turn left at Greenland".

 

Find a young lady that would be interested in marriage with a fine young fellow such as yourself. I think the visa is called a K-1.

 

Find a young lady that would be interested in marriage with a fine young fellow such as yourself. I think the visa is called a K-1.

The K-1 is the fiancé visa and it's not nearly as simple as it seems at first blush.

First off, it is a non-immigrant visa -- you have to get married within 90 days of entering the country and then apply for a change of status (which isn't cheap). Second, and probably foremost, it is illegal to pursue entry into the country via a K-1 unless the intent is to establish a bona fide marriage, and not just a marriage for the purpose of entering the country. While it's hard for the government to establish that this has been done, they DO look at it. There's a period of ten. IIRC, years in which they can examine your situation and if there's evidence that you are not living together as a married couple, they can presume that you have committed immigration fraud (i.e., you have to prove you didn't) and the immigrant can be expelled and barred from applying again for ten years -- and if they have already become a U.S. citizen, that citizenship can be revoked.

In case you're curious, I became pretty well educated on this because I married a foreign national and had to go through all of these hoops (though that was 15 years ago and things do change over time).

A couple of the more... interesting... aspects of it was that because we ended up getting married outside the U.S. (to avoid the expense of doing the K-1 and/or the change-of-status, which because there was a child involved would have totaled out to an additional $2400), my wife did not dare attempt to enter the country on her B-1 Visitors Visa either before or after we where married because it would have been completely up to the Customs agent at the airport whether to admit her or turn her away based on a suspicion that she might not leave the country -- and having purchased a round-trip ticket would make zero difference. She would have had to book a return flight and stay on the international side of the airport until it boarded. That was not something we were going to risk, especially when there was a one-year-old baby involved and the flight was already 12+ hours.

The other very interesting thing is that if the U.S. citizen gets married abroad, part of the application process, technically, is establishing that the marriage has been consummated. That's not only in the application requirements, it is in the actual U.S. statutes. I spent a significant amount of time trying to find out just what constituted proof that this had been accomplished because I certainly did not want to have to fly halfway around the planet again just to please some bureaucrat. I talked to six or seven different folks at USCIS and never did get an actual answer, but came to the conclusion that although the rules require it, they don't actually do anything to verify it (which, in fact, turned out to be the case).

 

It is still a possible way to go, despite the difficulties.

To be sure. I just looked up some numbers (albeit about five years out of date) and there are about 35000 K-1 visas approved each year. From India, in 2017, the total was slightly under 800. Interestingly, the top country is the Philippines, with about 20% of the total and more than the next five countries combined. I wonder if this plays a role in why the priority dates for the Philippines is always significantly longer -- and I can see the cause-effect going either direction.

 

The University near my home in Canada has millions of students from China who drive extremely expensive sports cars.
Young people from India make deliveries with trucks, older people from India are crippled (from poor nutrition and no exercise?).

You really should refrain from overgeneralizing people from other parts of the world -- there are lots of folks from China that are at the other end of the spectrum working in restaurants and plenty of people from India that are quite well off.

It turns out that for various reasons, including ease of immigration, Canada is a magnet for the children of the Chinese super-rich, and vanishly tiny percentage of Chinese, and just like elsewhere, extreme outliers on the wealth distribution curve.

But Canada is not alone in attracting these children, US universities also have Chinese expat communities of children of the super-rich. While the behavior of this people is not a good look for Chinese folks as a class, it is as indicative of the nature of that class of people as the Children of US and Canadian super-rich reflect on the general population of the respective countries or their national character.

Similarly, while there is a lot of poverty in India—in fact it is the mode for the huge population—the same situation pertains in China, in fact the two societies share many cogent attributes. While in the US and Canada the general standard of living is higher, the situation is not too different. It's just at what level you want to draw the poverty line, there is no hard block to things devolving in the West as well.

Generally, casual observation of local facts doesn't work well when drawing global conclusions (see: the blind men and the elephant)

Certainly! Education is the passport to a brighter future, transcending borders and empowering individuals to achieve remarkable feats. The stories of successful Indians in the US and Canada serve as inspiring beacons, illuminating the path for aspiring minds worldwide.

Investing in education not only equips you with knowledge but also nurtures resilience, creativity, and critical thinking. By being the best in your field, you become a driving force, shaping the world around you. Advanced degrees not only open doors but also pave the way for innovation and progress, transforming dreams into tangible achievements.

So, to those aspiring to make their mark, embrace education passionately. Strive for excellence, challenge the status quo, and let your intellect soar. In the realm of education, the possibilities are boundless, and with dedication, you can truly change the world.

 

Beware of the human smuggling outfits.!
