Has anyone in the US ever left their kids and spouse in India for a year or more? I'm in a tough situation where I may have to leave them back home for a while :( I have a very supportive wife and 2 young kids 5 & 2. I'm sure my parents and her parents and all friends and family support net can keep them safe and happy there during their stay. It's just me that have to miss my kids and my girl for a while. Truly there were times where I just wanted to be alone and ran away from these sweet creatures and also went alone on trips like a week or so, never more than a week. It's odd that I'm reacting childishly. I consider myself more composed and never express anything or expect anything strongly in any situation so far. But the thought of leaving them over a year is truly breaking me .. Not sure what to do!?!? I don't want to miss my kids growing up. I just want to be there at every moment plus taking care of them alone is going to be heavy on my partner. I just want to go with them but my career has started going on the right path after a while. I'm not a typical Masters Tier 1 company story. I struggled a lot to get here. To reach 200TC I took 31 years for me. Now in the VMware situation after acquisition I don't know what my fate is going to be. I'm one among the ~38000 people waiting for Broadcom's brutal decisions. Currently I strongly feel I can get through this, performance ratings and recent conversation with Skips and VPs signs that. If I go now with them and in the worst case I get chopped it would be a mountainous task to come back to the US. I just want to stay and see what. My wife works on and off and she is a dev at a body shop consulting firm. She is ready to throw her job which I support she has to quit and do whatever she thinks right for the family Sorry for the lengthy text :( just wanted to vent out Immigration sucks 😞 TC 300 Base 205 Atlanta (Non Engg) #family #relationships #h1b #mentalhealth
You are just prioritising money over family and this post is your copium Sulphate.
Thanks for misunderstanding 🙂
Why do they need to go
Why don't you quit and be with your family? Your career isn't that important.
OP would rather divorce
