Folks, I think my dad has symptom of depressions. He is no longer willing to participate in things he used to love. Generally lost interest in “life”.
I am thinking to take him to a therapist here in NJ. Any friend here has a suggestion ? He is on a travel visa here but I am willing to spend some $

Very sorry to hear!

I don’t know any therapists, so will let others chime in on that. While you wait for for good referrals do try spending time doing 1-1 activities with him. Might keep him engaged in the short term.

Stay strong!

Yes I think he’s in depression. Talk to him and let him feel comfortable in opening up. It’s not easy. Is your mom still around? In my case it was the lack of a female companion that was missing, especially in the older age

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet.

If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?
