Is it wise to go to US via masters or job to get birthright citizenship for children ?
Is this preposterous ? After all, u gain a different out of the country experience and u do not lose anything financially even if one spends for masters, due to higher pay in US. Also, this can be an invaluable gift to one's children. Going to the US consulate for Visa is a very tense experience even if everything's right from your side. Did anyone of you consider this benefit when planning to come to US ? People always talk about high pay but not this. I am an Indian TC 43 lpa, 3 yoe Masters admit at Gatech
If you're from a country that its passport doesn't take you to most of the world visa-free, then yes it's absolutely worth it.
Yeah, makes sense for countries like India. But not necessary for British or German citizens because they can easily get dual citizenship with the U.S.
Define 'easily' please because I think we have pretty different definitions.
The child can still choose when he/she comes of age. So it's a good fallback if nothing else.
I can't say if it wise or not but you are looking at it from a very narrow lens. Let me explain. Moving to a different country without financial and social support requires some courage. It's easier in a university setting but about 10-20% of people give it up due to the daily demands of this new country and things that you need to learn to assimilate in new culture. If you just do it for your kids and end up not being a good parent because of your skewed social or financial issues, you may not be giving a gift to your child. So look at it broadly
U can always come back after opt. I have financial support , my brother and uncle lives there too
Your family is going to pay out of state tuition for your kids? Are you sure about that?
Please don't game the 14th amendment. You should raise your children to have love and appreciation for your heritage and culture.
Get off your high horse and pass a 28th amendment if you don't like it
Yes, I would like to come back early for children to grow up in India among relatives
Just for the better future of your child, move to US. It would be hard for first couple of years but you will settle in. I know two kind of people who moved to US from India. First category is post 35 years who tried to live in India but gave up on corruption, over population, pollution and impact of bad water, air on their children. This category don’t want to go back and know the perils of living in India and are completely fed up with the system and rhetoric. The second category is of people with 25 years average age. They haven’t had to deal with kids being sick, paying bribe during home purchase, water line, etc. They are hopefuls that India would one day become good. This category comes to US and plans to go back. Only few percentage really go back. As a person who has visited over 25 countries, VISA is a slight hindrance. I would not change my county for this benefit alone. But I made the jump just to breathe fresh air, ability to eat unadulterated food and drink water straight from tap.
Agree with fresh air, but unadulterated food.. Not so much. I have started looking at the ingredients in all the stuff I but since I have moved here... And become much more paranoid too.
Depends if you have lot of wealth that will be passed down to your kid, you will have to re think this strategy. Your kid will be taxed on their worldwide income and I believe there is an exit tax if you renounce citizenship . I bet Ambanis kid are not usc maybe some other country . If that’s not an issue it makes sense .
That’s exactly why we need to change our laws to stop this kind of abuse. We don’t need to change the law of the land all we need is to do is to punish the parents for immigration fraud. Imprisonments then immediate deportation without any right of return sounds good to me. It is all within DHS authority.
Yes, this is preposterous. Don’t do that - wrong motivation and basically abusing the system. Because of people who does stuff like this the immigration system is getting worse and worse for everyone.
Just remember usa tax you worldwide.
One doesn't pay double tax anyway. So why is this an issue ?
That's not true plus there's still the time and hassle (and cost if you pay an accountant) of filing US taxes every year regardless of where you live. Source: an American abroad
