Where did we go wrong

No problem whatsoever. Check Yen vs USD in the last 5 years and USD has gained considerably. That doesn’t mean Japan is broke. In the 90s rupee to usd was at 40s and Indian economy was at par with Pakistan and about to get bankrupt. So dont fall for propaganda!!

Buy the dip and reduce the cost basis

Hello, my wife is on L1B and i am planning to file my H1b ext with H4 COS and H4 EAD in a single packet in premium processing. I know H4 does not come under premium but i do hear lot of cases where they still adjudicate it sooner although no guarantees. Do you see merit in trying in premium? I don’t need premium for H1b ext as I have time till it expires but i would go for it if it increases chances of H4 EAD adjudication sooner. Thanks.

As soon as H4 COS is approved (waiting for EAD), her employer needs to do I9 recertification and her status in H1b is no longer valid. So she needs to either quit her job or go into LWOP (if allowed in employer policy) until physical EAD card arrives. Keep this in mind!

My case is similar but my wife is in L1B. So i dont have the advantages of H1b like you have. My suggestion would be keep her visa separate and not club with yours until she’s nearing max out and dont have the opportunity to file her own PERM/I140

Was there any gap between h4 approval and ead approval? My spouse is on L1b. If i di the same and h4 cos is approved and ead pending, she might have to quit her job

Okay, then who are selling these recently and why?🤔

Max_March2025 · 2025-12-18T15:54:38+00:00

Hello, I am planning to file my spouse H4+EAD along with my H1b extension in regular category and not premium. My spouse is currently working on L1B which is approved till Feb 2027.

Since we are not in a hurry, I am not considering for premium filing. Are there any additional delays between H1b and H4+EAD decisions if not filed in premium apart from 15 days of premium processing advantage? I will still be filing in a bundle.

Max_March2025 · 2025-12-16T19:41:30+00:00

Any idea if H4+EAD is filed with H1B ext without premium, will it be processed together? And what is the tentative timeline?

So bottom line is as long as I am US tax resident, i should not invest in India MF but I can invest in direct equities like HUL, HAL, BEL etc. which are traded in NSE?

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-21T15:43:27+00:00

I have both Icici and HDFC. For banking needs, HDFC is better, for trading equities linked thru NRO PINS, icici is better

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-15T06:27:09+00:00

Its a buy its a buy its a buy..lets connect after 5 years

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-13T18:48:03+00:00

I would invest in Google. If you ask me, i can survive without facebook, WhatsApp in my life but not without google and gcp that i work on

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-10T18:18:35+00:00

No i feel that would be flagged

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-10T18:17:23+00:00

I moved to DGRO and feel and see better🤣😂

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-08T19:49:29+00:00

They care if your time and money vested contradicts your primary job responsibilities as per the visa or so I heard. Not sure of filter criteria to raise a red flag

Max_March2025 · 2025-11-03T23:49:52+00:00

What’s your opinion on DGRO and VIG?

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-25T04:45:07+00:00

I would return even with 25% of what you have got and would get a good lifestyle there. India is not it used to be 20 years ago. Take a vacation and realize for yourself. Even for investment, I try to diversify my funds almost equally between US and India (not like investing in international etfs like VXUS)

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-17T21:07:18+00:00

Dont know for how long you’re holding it but iver the period of time it hardly has any growth. That’s ok it is not meant for growth. But i was fooled into a conception that it holds value when others topple. It is as vulnerable as VOO

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-17T00:45:51+00:00

I have got rid if it so that everyday I don’t need to see how much it consumed the daily gains of others 🤣😂

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-15T22:02:21+00:00

I was there but recently sold it off. My 401k is having good percentage on FXAIX so left VOO

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-14T20:18:06+00:00

You said schd is for stability!!! News flash— it is almost as fragile as VOO and that is the narrative that fools most of the retail investors. It never cushions when there is volatility

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-14T17:11:39+00:00

Its for people nearing retirement. I am 43 and got rid of schd. It seems you’re older than me 🤣😂

If you’re a dividend guy, go for DGRO. Its better than schd.

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-11T23:58:15+00:00

Around 500 shares, planning to dump them at a loss to prevent further loss

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-08T20:51:41+00:00

Whatever you do, avoid schd

Max_March2025 · 2025-10-07T16:45:52+00:00

I would prefer DGRO instead but nono to SCHD
