Graduate Behind Viral 'Love You, America' Post Urges Indians To Look Beyond US
NDTV World ^ | 10/3/2025 | Dishha Bagchi

Posted on 10/05/2025 5:27:03 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

The 'American Dream' is often described as the belief that anyone can succeed in the United States through perseverance and hard work. For Ananya Joshi, an Indian woman, that promise fell short. She bid a teary-eyed farewell to the country after failing to secure stable employment.

In a conversation with NDTV, Joshi explained that she was on an F-1 visa when she was laid off. She had joined a company during her Optional Practical Training (OPT) period, but they later informed her that they would not sponsor her visa.

"At that time I did not panic because I knew I had an additional two years of my OPT, but in order for me to work on my extension OPT, the company would have to be e-verified," Joshi said.

She revealed that the employer had assured her "verbally" that they were e-verified, but that turned out to be untrue. As a result, she lost the chance to apply for her STEM extension and was eventually let go. Describing her struggle to find work, she added, "Even in that very little time, two months, I did have 20 to 30 interviews in the US, but none of them were willing to hire anybody who was working on F-1 OPT. They all needed a green card or citizenship."

On September 29, Joshi shared a sombre video on Instagram that documented her departure from the US. Despite seeming to accept her reality, Joshi admitted that nothing could have prepared her for the emotional impact of departing.

For students disillusioned by the American system, Joshi offered some perspective. "The world is actually really big; there are way more opportunities out there. It's just that we have not been told."

She encouraged aspirants to broaden their horizons and consider countries like Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and Singapore

Agreed-make them great. What’s wrong with the one she came from?

At least she left willingly, instead of making a big “Maryland Man” production out of it.

I don’t think the Indians like India. Kind of like the Messicans. They are all “lookin’ for a better life.” So they all head for the land of the “racist Nazis.” America!!! I still don’t get that. They need to follow in Rosie and Ellen’s shoes and move to Ireland and Britain. Why is it always America they head for?

Per my understanding, the majority of people in India still defecate beside roadways, in alleyways, etc...in short, no restrooms. That to me is one thing that is wrong. That, and the fact that it is very dangerous for a woman to be in public by herself. The risk of sexual assault is very high.

If I were from India I would be looking to get out.

Only by having these people stay in their homelands and demand and provide improvement do the countries change

When you abuse and overstay your welcome you should expect to be told to GTFO. It’s not personal but we can make it personal if you don’t GTFO.

ALL Indians are Dalit’s. All of them.

They should be treated the same way they treat their “Untouchables”. /spit

Interesting. Just look at how the Asian ‘tigers’ evolved. Many Koreans prefer the US to their modern country. Gotta be the freedom.

Immigration is our secret weapon. Proper vetting. No guarantee the next democrat administration will go that way.

India has “designated s***ting streets”. No s***. lol
Just like democrats deciding we didn’t have enough domestic gangster thugs so importing more from El Salvador, Venezuela, Mexico, etc., now their gop open borders allies believe we need more, much more street squatters.
Watch your step!

Immigration is our secret weapon to kill the USA. A form of socio-economic suicide.
