Single child on H1 B in US
How do I get my old parents to stay with me without every 6 months travel back to India?

Is there any legal way to have them stay with me as long as I am here?

Unfortunately No other way.

Can’t you go to Canada or Mexico every 6 months?

Can't you add them as dependents on your H1B?

No you dannot

You cannot. However you can look at seeing if you can move to Canada and take them with you there.

Only child here, explored all options. DM if you want to chat.

He just said things to hurt me, dismissed our connection, did not reciprocate at all, didn’t apologized for hurting me (I did) didn’t acknowledge my feelings or where I needed support. I’m devastated.

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money.
1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case?
2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances?
3. What documents should I carry with me?

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

I understand availability as a junior, etc etc - but when am I supposed to work on my other deals??
