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 Well, as I said I had posted an ad in sulekha seeking sponsorship.I received a call from a brokerage company saying they wanted a data entry clerk.He told me their website and I sent him my resume(as requested) to the mail id I got ...

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]

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. And I am the kind who needs some time in hand to start pouring... I guess I need some practice. I hope to get better with some practice here... I know I have promised you guys a story... I think I will just tell you mine... But it is a long one, though I will keep it short it will still take some time to go ... [Read the rest]

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]

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 ...
