It boils my blood reading something like this. A man who worked has worked for 20 yrs, paid taxes, provided for his family (in US and back home) has to suffer this much humiliation.

Compound this with the fact the person must be (most likely) on his H1B so can't leave his job and prepare for another one in peace because 2 month window is a short one to find a job.

If there is some karma in this world I hope Iyer/other guy gets it.

> 2 month window

As a former H1-B myself, I thought the "2 month window" was a very unofficial grace-period and actually, de-jure, you're ostensibly meant to leave the US immediately (literally, the same day) and only return when a new sponsor agrees to take you on.

President Obama formalized the 2 month window.
Let's not give anybody ideas for some destructive action now because there is a name attached to this.
Good point, USCIS formalized the two month window in 2016.
for L1 it's one week so practically instantaneous.

You don't understand what you have taken for granted. In the name of hindu religion, citing the vedas education has been denied to all non-brahmins(other than priestly caste) until Britishers arrived. This is the reason majority of the indians are first college goers in their family. For us what you described is the definition of heaven.

I totally understand this. I am not saying we (as Indians of xyz caste) haven't done anything wrong in the past.

It's like all the education was only for earning $$ not expanding the mindset (realising your privilege, giving back and at the very least be nice to people agnostic of their race/gender/nationality etc).
