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

Look where it got Sandy Cortez, Ilhan Omar the tentmaker, and Rashida Slaib the Queen of the Desert Caravans.
“’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’”
“She revealed that the employer had assured her “verbally” that they were e-verified, but that turned out to be untrue”

“’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.’”
Most biotech and drug discovery work is modestly paid grunt work.
I agree with her. Leave. Look to go elsewhere.
Try Gaza!
Funny how these people who regard themselves as very smart can’t band together in India and fix what’s wrong. Look at the size of the market they would have if they expanded the size of the pie even just to half of the population.
