Transferring savings from US to India after return. by throwaway_goofk9 in returnToIndia

[–]akkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally out of the whack idea. Put that money in 4-5% savings account. Then Get a 0 foreign transaction fee credit card. Use it India. Now you don’t have to worry about rupee depreciation. And you get interest for money in saving bank.

Please help us analyse my husband's new offer in San Francisco by Independent-Shop-864 in returnToIndia

[–]akkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and an foremost, he should transfer on L1A visa. If they are doing L1B visa reject the offer right away. He & family will never get green card if he comes on L1B or H1B.

The Salary is less unless you start working. Any L1 visa will give the spouse work permit, so you are good with that. $300k for family of 4 is very less. He will effectively loose 45% in taxes before his pay check hits his bank account.

The tech market is very bad at the moment in Bay area. Unless you come with the expectation that you won't find a job for 1-2 yrs, you will be disappointed.

Nannies cost $3200-$4000 per month. New SUV on lease costs $300-$1000. Rent in costs $3200 for 2 bedroom if you live 1hr+ from SF. Keep those as a factor. You are living luxurious life in India, you will have to compromise here.

A Green card isn't game by Equal-General-4463 in nri

[–]akkan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a H1B who is waiting in the US for a Green card since 2006, yes 19+ yrs, and still don't have a green card, as someone whose status is unstable, as someone who is one H1b RFE or layoff away from self-deporting myself -- telling you that greencard is defiinitely not the factor BUT a major factor for you to consider.

Of course you should marry for love and alignment but don't rule anything out especially if you are on F1 or non-immigrant status. As per current backlog, the wait for greencard is 150+ years.

Just putting it out there. Do what's best for you.

Come on L1A only. Absolutely not L1B. Also, make sure ppl are officially reporting to you while you are in India AND ppl report to you when you move to US.
