Hello all, Need some advice from experience people here. I met someone through family and we both like each other and she seems to be a great person. Although I see people with wife’s who are dependent not to be so happy. You usually want your wife to study and masters and then try to find a job. What has your experience been about this? Any advice you would like to give? Ofcourse graduate study is expensive but how tough is it to get job nowadays with current visa situation? I am on a Temporary visa on which wife can’t work. How to be wise and plan ahead? I want her to work as does she as well and I want to be supportive. Respectful advice only.
You cannot plan for dependent Visa. Be upfront and realistic with her. Set right expectations. If it doesnot work out pick what you cannot live without move on
I did so I told her and even asked her to talk to her friends in USA. I am trying to be very open and clear and she says it’s ok and open to go ahead.
Don't worry Amazon will make you work a lot. You can secretly teach her Brazil, Apollo etc and she can solve tickets on weekends (at least ones like vip spillover and all that nonsense) while you chill. On a serious note - if she's an engineer, she can enroll in master's program here. If she's not then wait till you get h1b (not sure if h4 ead stays by then).
You don't want to spoil someone's career and thereby life due to a Visa. Carefully tread there.
Ignore the advice above 🖕. If you both like each other you shouldn’t let a pice of paper get in your way. If she doesn’t have the required educational experience then you should encourage her to go for higher studies and be supportive. Just focus on the positive and hope for the best
Thanks! Being positive is key. I gave her a clear idea and told it is going to be challenging. She is onboard but how do you know.
I’ve seen my buddies handle similar situations so I know
Life is unpredictable, I have seen people do masters and not get good jobs or h1bs in lottery. Ultimately masters becomes a waste.. If you like each other, it is more important than anything else. Focus on having healthy marriage with some one you like, and then plan accordingly.
This. Especially with new enforcement on OPT and h1b reform.
When she says she is ok, she might not be aware of what she is getting into or how her life would change. She might be saying it's ok but might get really bored and depressed when she spends some time here now working. One way might be to ask her to come here and live with you for a month and see how it's like. Good luck.
Don’t marry someone without living with them for sometime.
What if she just wants to be a full time mum once you bring home the big TC?
Is she a gold digger?
Bad u should avoid it
