But since my OPT ends in October, I'm worried about what will happen after. If I don’t find an employer who will sponsor my work visa, I will be forced to switch to dependent status – which essentially means, I can stay on in this country but CANNOT work for a living. That means I either choose to be a housewife in the US or choose to go back home to India and have a long distance marriage. This is tough shit. And I am very upset.
The newspaper I work for is owned by a giant conglomerate in the newspaper industry that also owns over 58 newspapers in 23 states. I find it hard to believe that a huge conglomerate like this has never hired a foreign national. It’s insane.
- Either I get real lucky and find another job
- Or the Gods smile upon me and my current employer changes their mind and agrees to sponsor my visa
- Or I just work till October for them and then become a housewife
- Or I work till October and then move to India and find a job and wait for Nanu to finish his PhD. and come back to me.

Poornima these days there are companies that charge you an x amount of money and sponsor H1's
I am sure u will find something
No Abby, since Nanu has a work visa, I can stay on in the US as his dependent - which means I cannot earn a living, but be here as a homemaker/housewife!
Anonymous, I've never done anything illegal all my life and would prefer not to start now!
Yeah we should talk and explore possible options together. Will call ya.
