An Indian IT professional, Ravi, shared his decision to return to India after a decade in the US, citing loneliness, family distance, and H-1B visa uncertainty as primary drivers. He described a growing sense of isolation, particularly after COVID-19, and the emotional toll of being separated from aging parents and growing children. The prolonged wait for permanent residency, estimated at 150-190 years, also contributed to his feeling of being temporary labor, making him reconsider his long-term future in the US.
