Yekloyatri is right.  I have been here for more than 6 yrs now.  Its been really tough.  life is really hard over here.  its nothing like what we imagine back home.  we dont know so many things about usa and how things work here and it takes time to know and understand those things.  USA IS NOT MTV OR AMERICAN PIE .  you are on your own here.  you will see people from diverse socio economic background here.  please take this things from your head off that all american are rich and i will be also rich one day ( dont know some may).  every american works really hard to make living.  some are really rich but middle class and lower middle class really work hard to make living.  have you heard the term " living pay check to pay check"  here yet?  well most do live like that here.  if we dont work hard, we can not live in this world. 

ya, do not expect other to do favor to you.  focus on your goal.  do not get carried away with lime lights here.  i really work hard in last six years and finally able to get this thing called h1B.  well, things changed once you land here.  to complete degree is not easy, to maintain status is not easy, to get job is not easy and to get h1b is not easy.  life does nt end there my friend.  we, being human being always look for better and more.  we  miss family, society, environment of nepal, which we can not get here.  may be i am makign descent money now, but i dont have those things with me.  when i came here my focus was to complete degree and get a descent job and live descent life here.  the kind of money we make ( mind you i make descent money as an entry level guy) is not enough to save enough to go back to nepal in few years.  you pay taxes and all and saving is not much.  anways, those stuffs you dont need to worry much.  i think i shoudl nto have written all those.  its too much for new arrival here.

do this, try to find a job at your school, make SSN, focus on your education at this time.  dont think about other stuffs now.  you will learn things, dont worry.  stay focused.
