In response to the WSJ article (which is reproduced here), I contacted the person that contributed the article with my feedback. Ms. Kathleen: I read your article on outdated visa rules in India.  While I understand your argument that the rules should be relaxed so dependent spouses (husband or wife) could apply for work permit, it is quite important to note the reciprocity rules and how thousands of Indians are left to stay home without having an ability to work.  For example, in the U.S., there are thousands of H-4 individuals, dependent visa holders of H-1B work permit visa holding spouses.  These H-4 ...

This is my first post. I was just going through the posts and thought to put down my thoughts as they came probably review them later. I have been in US for past 1 year on H4. During this time i met a lots of Indians and their families some of them are now Americans. After meeting them i realized the once happy and satisfied were those who had good number of friends. Even if the spouse was on H4 it did not matter.They seemed to be families away from home. This made me thinking is it my legal status or inability ... [Read the rest]

Hours passing by days, months, years forever in a land of strange faces revelling in love and yet, pining for a love left behind. [Read the rest]
