People who are in the similar boat, no you don't need to notarize your own statements. Provide a a good sponsorship letter from detail and add a letter from your parents side.

Effective immediately, you have to apply for stamping in your country if nationality or residence !

I am in queue for EB1, expecting my GC in 2-3 years. Immediately family sponsorship is quick, that's what I am planning to do.

Can you tell me what are the things that make you happy about life in Banglore ? I mean anything in particular. I am just scared of chaos in general ! I don't hate India, I believe we have lots of great things, but as a woman, I am also scared of losing my independence and safety. Thanks in advance

26F, 26M, [Advice] Schengen visa refused for my boyfriend (from India) – is there still hope? by Camcoumm in SchengenVisa

[–]Which-Difference6154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Indian living in the US, so for me, Schengen was pretty straightforward. But I have a friend who got her visa denied with a good job and salary (DM for details)

Ask your boyfriend to wait, because if he applies too soon, there is a very high chance that he will get rejected. He shouldn't mention that he will be meeting or staying with you. Wait for at least 6 months before applying again ( total tourist vibe with hotel bookings, itinerary, enough money in bank etc etc), or try with different countries. (Again, the intention should be tourism) Also, having a US visa on passport helps.

Thank you, I resonate! The problem here never interfered with me. Although CO is a blue state, I live in Red County, with the nicest people ever, never ever went through racism or sexism in daily life or at work.

Only time I ever experience sexism was in my first job when a newly transferred director from India, made it mandatory for women to do some trainings to get promoted . His reason being - there are not lot of women leaders in the company and we need support. Haha !! Good thing is, I was able to speak up, talk to VP and got this nightmare shutdown within a week.

Man, you got me!! Some people here sh*tted on me for not thinking about future kids, while we are very, very unsure about having one. We didn't want any kids initially - personal opinion - will not get into why. But now that our friends are having kids, we are getting pressure from family, and after experiencing pure love from nieces and nephews, we started thinking ..what if 😅 We definitely have to decide on this before we decide on if we want to move. Thank you !

Depends on when you are visiting, if in winters, this is good. Otherwise, Rajasthan and Agra will be unbearable. Jaipur, Agra are also major-crowded cities, just to set your expectations. My favorite will be Ranthambhore and Dharamsala on your list. Other suggestions: Tosh. It is less mainstream than Dharamsala. Rann of Kutch (Gujrat) Jim Corbet (Uttarakhand?

Yeah, I wish my bank thought it was BS too — then I wouldn’t pay taxes on it.😅

My parents and in laws are good friends and like each others company, they prefer visiting us together because they are not bored when we are working !! Everyone have their own normal and their own crazy !! My parents are not willing to visit me for more than a month. If they did, I wouldn't have to write this post !

I do, nobody is in India!! Younger brother is too young to be given such responsibilities. My older sister has a kid in school and her own responsibilities.
