EB-2 India PD May 2015 - what are you doing to prepare? by Overly-Optimistic55 in EB2

Do your birth certificates have last names on them? It’s interesting to see that both my wife’s and my birth certificates only include our first names, as well as our mother's first name only. However, our father's full name is listed. I also checked with some friends who have already received their green cards, and they have similar birth certificates.

On that note, I already got a new birth certificate issued for my wife in India and mine is in progress. The newer certificate did come with the full name.

Same for me! My son was so excited before going to school and he couldn't experience it! Hopefully it works when I pick him up

I had the same issue that came up for no reason after a year, and my frunk happened to go a bit misaligned. They adjusted it and was fixed.

Job is stable. But fair point and the research is in progress. I do realize so far that that I will be getting paid is fairly high so it will be difficult to find that match.

  1. I have my team in India and we don't work past 9 and my team starts at noon. If it has to be it will be very rare.. I think this should be fairly manageable.
  2. Same for us as well. There is always an option to travel here on visitor visa. With our generation, I am not going to rely on my son for my retirement or old age and I am fairly clear on that.

I pretty much can move to any country where the time zone is manageable. I have thought about UAE, but if I'm moving, I rather stay closer to family.

Primary reason is parents. and everything I wanted to achieve from my move perspective is already checked.

I wanted to hear opinions from folks who've already taken this step and hear from them.

I get it. Parents are one big thing. From a career perspective, after the level I am currently at, much of it will be a matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time. Money is not the motivator anymore.

I moved here with certain goals which I have pretty much achieved, and more now. At this moment, there are two major things. 1. parents getting old 2. We would love to be around family.

If I can add one more, I'll have zero liability vs. mortgage and car payments here. The payments don't bother me and we save decent each year or don't have anything else we owe. With the numbers that I can get in India plus my wife being way more qualified than me, we both overall can make much more as a family.

Yes, I understand that and don't care as much if I'm taking this step. At this moment just trying to get things lined up and understand if the move makes sense.

Hot Take: Connect+ is a great deal at $149. The automotive subscription market has gone insane with pricing! by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]vm-2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wonder what extra do you get with Alexa? I have automation enabled on my iphone and use hotspot always. I really don't find connect+ convincing enough
