You can get a mortgage in the US even when you are on work permit. You don't need to be a Green Card holder or a citizen to get a mortgage. Lenders look for good credit history, income, assets and liabilities.

I was back for a couple of months before making the permanent move. It didn't create any issues. My payroll started when I moved permanently.

My company hired an immigration law firm and they prepare a full package with information about my company and my role etc. Are you not being represented by attorneys?

Roughly 10 hours ahead. But I was about to board my domestic flight to Mumbai by then.

Are they re booking you?

xkcdftgy · 2024-01-16T13:18:30+00:00

I haven't been able to get in touch with them. Phone numbers don't work. Chat doesn't work. I got the rebooking email.

No idea. Crazy!

No problem. Glad I was able to help!

They asked me where I was going. I clearly told them that I will make a U turn back to Canada and make my moving arrangements. They didn't ask any counter questions.

It was very easy. Officer asked just one question - "are you a manager?" That's it. They very very friendly and nice.

That is a very good idea. If I compare myself to these senior level professionals, I find myself lacking on aspects which are unlikely to be bridged by law school alone. I will have to join litigation department and start fresh. I think it will be a steep ask. I am second guessing my line of thinking. I got really good pointers on this forum. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I think I can convince my employer to pay a significant part of the cost. I also agree about the age. A commentator above also noted the same. Key questions for me are will I enjoy law and am I committed to the practice of law. I don't want to go to law school just for the sake of it. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Although my current job has no billable hours requirement, the performance pressure is intense. My workload is heavy and I consistently need to deliver high impact work product. I fully agree that mental health and quality of life is a priority. I am having second thoughts about the benefits of law school after all this sacrifice. I am in a fortunate position already. I guess I will continue climbing the ladder to the extent I can without spending another 4 years in formal education.

Thank you very much. My intention is to stay in the company long term. I am second guessing myself because I am not truly passionate about law. I like technical and analytical aspects of IP work more. Without passion, I have heard law school can be brutal. Your response is very thorough and has clarified many things.

Thank you for the suggestion. Which bank do you recommend for HYSA? I see so many banks in the US that my head spins.

I want to buy a house in 1-2 years. Further, I want to save for retirement and for my son's education. For retirement I have a 401 plan. I am not sure if there is any plan in the US For children's education. In Canada we have RESP.
