Yikes. Can his firm transfer him to a foreign office? Otherwise 2nd masters degree plus opt?

None. You exhaust the OPT if you haven’t left the US to reset the clock.

Join another online school with OPT and try again for H1B again next year.

Ok, we talk about getting desi names butchered by videsis. We have an Anandraj in our midst. And at least once in a day, he is called Anda-Raj or Andha-Raj by desis (by mistake) 😆

Marital counselling, mental health and therapy (through certified professionals) has been a taboo everywhere, but this is especially true amongst desis - be it in India or desis abroad. However, I’m curious to know how effective or useful it has been for people who have ACTUALLY gone through counselling when going through marital issues, for example. There are many comments recommending it, but are people speaking from personal experience or because it’s been popularised in web series/movies/TV?

Hi Parents - My 6 yr daughter has started to develop some skin discoloration on face. It started sometime last year & we went to multiple dermatologist. They mentioned it to be pityriasis alba which resolves in few months to an year. However this has increased a bit since last year & when we saw our dermatologist again this year, he still thinks it is alba but mentioned it could be vitiligo as well. He didn't give any medicine but checking if anyone has success with home remedies with this. TIA
