A 33-year-old Indian man has sparked a buzz on social media after sharing his decision to move back to India following an 11-year stint in the United States.
He arrived in the US in 2015 on a student visa and worked hard, even winning the H-1B lottery on his last attempt.
However, his company laid him off during the PERM process, leaving him with no choice but to return home.
The man emphasized that the current immigration system is broken, with people waiting three years to enter a queue due to backlogs in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories for India.
He also highlighted the stress and anxiety caused by unexpected Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and denials regarding I-485 applications.
Despite earning a substantial income in the US, the man decided to return home, citing the anxiety and stress that overshadowed his life.
His parents initially understood his decision but later compared it to a distant acquaintance who lost his job at Amazon and relocated back to India.
The man expressed frustration over the comparison, feeling that his parents were trying to justify his decision to their relatives and friends.
His post garnered attention on social media, with many people offering support and encouragement.
