An Indian woman working in the United States on an H-1B visa said she is still hopeful despite being laid off twice. She stated that she did not come to the US just for a job, expressing resilience in the face of setbacks.

The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, shared her experience of losing her job twice while on the temporary work visa. The H-1B visa ties workers to their employers, making layoffs particularly stressful as they must find a new job quickly or leave the country.

Despite the challenges, she emphasized that her move to the US was driven by broader aspirations beyond employment. Her comments reflect a determination to persevere through the difficulties of the visa system.

Her story highlights the precarious situation faced by many H-1B visa holders during economic downturns, where job losses can lead to immediate immigration consequences.
