tensed1, why am i a hypocrite? I am not the one who's asking for TPS in the name of 9000 dead people and 1 millions who lost their homes. You may also find it equally surprising that I am also not the one who's not supporting the TPS, i already mentoned that i signed up the petition. The only problem i have is people sounding like it is for the victims, it's not. The poor and helpless people will have no direct or even indirect benefit from it, don't give me the bs of wealth trickling down. The biggest source of remittance to Nepal is gulf countries not USA. Nepali bring more money to USA than sending to Nepal. look around in the community and you'll easily find tens of people who have sold their everything and brought money to live permanently to the US, nothing wrong with that it's their money but realistically since US grants long term immigration options unlike gulf countries more money is brought over than sent back home.

Amotic: there is no point being defensive. It's not the point if you sent money home or you kept the money as a student. Thousands of Nepali students come to US every year as international students, and you know the tuition in state universities are $5000 a semester, i'm talking about the most affordable ones with instate waivers. Even that means you have to save 10000+ a year to send money back home. Living , fooding , books and supplies separate. It is impossible unless you compromise in the quality of education. Most of my friends who went to India, etc have started their career years back with the same amount of money that you would spend to come to US. Why work illegally? be stressed out day and night when you can spend that same money and receive quality education in India or even in Nepal? the sad part is even after graduating in the US after 5 years and working like dogs while being students, there is no job or visa guarantee. Not only guarantee , but not even preference in h1b . An Indian with IT degree from Indian and you will stand on the same ground when filing for h1b. Why are we not seeing this option as a bad investment?
I am just trying to wake you guys up so in the future we don't have to rely on devastation like this to get a work permit.
