Months Without Job, US Visa Hurdles End Indian Graduate's Dream

A 27-year-old Indian man has shared his difficult experience in the United States, saying his American dream ended after months without a job and repeated problems linked to his visa. His story has drawn attention online and started a wider discussion about the struggles faced by many international students.

The man shared his story on Reddit in a post titled "Did everything 'right' in the US, still failed, heading back to India." He wrote that he followed the typical path most students take. He went to the US to study, completed his degree, and then began looking for a job, but ultimately couldn't find one.

He stated that his journey in the US was filled with constant misfortune. According to him, he arrived in the US in August 2022 and completed his master's degree in December 2023. He also stated that he has been unemployed since February 2024.

The man clarified that he left no stone unturned. He explained that he diligently applied for jobs, applying to over 30 places daily. He also stated that whenever he got an interview opportunity, he was often rejected due to his visa status. He was repeatedly told that the company couldn't continue him because he needed sponsorship.
