About :To be exploited or not to be
One of our members at H4help.org just recently posted couple queries in our discussion forum on questionable offers from employers. I am so glad she did. I wanted to share this with other H4s who might not have a access to H4help discussion forum (only members have access). Here is what she wrote:
Hi people

Come on Folks
I have mostly been busy adding new features, contents and maintaining the site. It is taking more time than I had expected. That is the reason I have not had time to blog. But I do plan to do it more often now.
The rate of new registrations have been pretty good, about 2.5/day. I am pretty happy with that. But I will be honest, members participation have been pretty disappointing. I understand that some of you might want to write but are hesitant and yet others might just want to be a passive member, would like to read but avoid ... [Read the rest]

There is so much to tell you
But so little time... Its like a bottle neck affect. When you have so much stuffed in you nothing comes out, specially if you have few minutes in your hand.

11 years and counting
Yup, that is the number of year I have been in the US. I was only 18 then and no I did not have a childhood marriage. You know its funny, everyone just assumes that I must have married someone and tailgated him to US, when I mention that I am on H4 visa, not that there is absolutely anything wrong with that. Not so. Its been a long struggle. Sorry to disappoint you folks who stereotype H4s "as the opportunists who use their marriage certificate as a license to come to US and does nothing but whines about their ... [Read the rest]
Forced to depend
It has been long since I left
Left for the land, to live what I dared
Where freedom is worshiped
Where system is fair
I was led to believe so
Or else why would I flutter, why would I fly?
Leaving my world so far behind??
Why am I restricted, why am I a second class?
I am here legally, you welcomed me to this land
To support who is working hard
Building the nation, playing their part
Enough have I waited behind
Behind the window of inspiring views
Hopes, wishes, dreams coming true
In the home of the free and land of plenty
That is all I am entitled to
To the view of the ... [Read the rest]
