OCI vs e-visa?
I just received my passport surrender certificate and can now apply for OCI. I have travel to India coming up in 9 weeks. Anyone have experience with OCI recently - how long has it been taking? Is it realistic to assume I will get it in 8-9 weeks or should I just apply for an e visa? Is there an issue traveling on e visa when the OCI is being processed?

VFS returned my surrender certificate application just last week saying something wrong with the address address on the govt form should be the current address and not the Indian passport address or something like that

try for OCI, if it doesnt come, you can apply evisa in a day or two prior to travel

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..
