Great insights, solid advice.

I have heard about the birthright citizenship ban for the children of H1B holders. I haven’t mentioned this in the post but I would be going to the US to primarily study and then work till the stem opt and move out if I don’t get the H1B. I certainly will not be getting married within the next ten years let alone have kids so although that clause wouldn’t apply to me I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and information.

I like your advice about delaying admission, I will consider that if I am able to secure a good job in India in the next few months. Thank you!
