An Indian man living in the United States recently Reddit Ask him if he can $6 Crores without work. He detailed his situation and said he held a green card EADimplying that he has applied green card and have an employment permit.
Indian men mentioned two major problems
He highlighted two major challenges in moving to India: first, he was unwilling to sell his house at a loss, and second, his children did not understand the Indian language and would encounter considerable difficulties if they moved to India.
“Blowed by the recent layoffs at tech companies. I’m in the process of filing a GC EAD and have about 5 months of financial runway. Given the current job market, I’m trying to plan for the worst-case scenario: moving back to India,” said a Reddit user. However, HT.com could not independently verify the authenticity of its posts.
“Has anyone had a child advance to secondary school in India without language skills? Is it worth spending 5 months trying to get a job in the US through EAD, or should I start preparing for a transfer now? Can I survive with a 6 in India without any job?” he asked.
Compared to H-1B visa holders who were granted a 60-day stay after losing their jobs, green card There is no such grace period for EAD.

Reddit post elicits mixed reactions: “You’ll be fine lol”
Reactions in the comments section of this post were mixed as many thought returning to India with a sum of money $Six Crores and no immediate work will not pose a major problem. In contrast, another group argued that Reddit users still have enough time to find alternative jobs in the United States and that dropping out of the green card queue is not an option. However, social media users agree on one thing: $6 Crores is enough in India.
“6 Crores with no debt? You’ll be fine, haha. That’s a lot more than most Indian families retire on. Honestly, the bigger issue here doesn’t sound like money. It sounds like uprooting two kids before they go to junior high and then figuring out the house situation. I’d probably use those 5 months to keep looking. You have EAD, which eliminates one of the usual headaches employers have. There’s no reason to rush to move if it’s not necessary. Also, kids adapt much faster CBSE Kids in schools, especially in big cities, don’t understand Hindi, and I won’t stress that too much.”
“You might want to sell the house now and get out if it gets worse. The kids will adapt and be fine. Seeing a different culture will make them well-rounded,” said another.
“OP is under GC EAD, not GC. This requires you to be employed and there is no grace period. Also, OP cannot provide CoS for H1 or H4 because they do not have non-immigrant status. GC EAD provides status, but not the non-immigrant status required for CoS,” a third user commented.
“I can’t tell you what’s right for you, but I can tell you that moving before middle school is fine. Moving during high school will be difficult for them. Kids change dramatically from middle school to high school,” suggested a fourth Reddit user.
