Indian-origin techie-doctor duo considers moving to Dubai: No Green Card, can't visit home on H-1B

As the H-1B visa stamping delays are continuing in India, accounts of how Indians are either stuck in India or can't travel to India, even during family emergencies, are plenty on social media platforms. After an Indian man shared the heartbreaking situation of not being able to visit his mother in India before she died, a techie-doctor couple shared how they are thinking of relocating to Dubai. Their story was shared by immigration analyst Sam Peak who did not reveal their names and took their permission before sharing their situation on social media.

The man is a techie working in the US for over a decade and his wife is a top cardiologist at a top-tier hospital on the East Coast. The techie said he has a National Interest Waiver which means his work is so important to the US that he is eligible for a faster Green Card without requiring any employer sponsorship -- because he is an asset to the country, not only to any specific company.
