I've been on H-1B for 5 years (almost), came to the US as student on F-1. Getting GC is the next step, but it's a lengthy process. What are the risks in waiting for another 10-15 years? What's the harm? I want honest opinions, please. Thanks all!

Jennis Jose When ur younger ...u don't worry about stability..but once you get married..have kids...u would want your spouse to have freedom to pursue her career. Sometimes you think twice before investing in property in usa. And after 15-20 yrs in a country you don't want to be forced to leave the country just because you don't have the right visa...

Srinivasa Manam Why you are marrying/married when you are late 20s or early 30s? If not marry, why you completed education early in your life time/when you are younger?(hope you have completed education) why you have done these things early in life? Instead of doing at late 50s? Even you can marry and study at late 50s? I hope my questions gives answers for your questions.

Srinath Sasthri Your H1 will last only for 6 years. If you want to continue to work here after 6 years you need another work status. Also if you have GC you can legally stay in USA without job and US Govt will pay you unemployment benefits. On H1, if you were to lose job you need to go back to home country

Jyoti Kanwar Just too many uncertainties as jobs can stop being great and you might need to find a new employer to repeat the process and they might not be as friendly. So lot of variable, safety net is lacking.

Pavan Kopparapu Just my opinion, If you want to live here, just live and enjoy your life. This is definitely not a place to retire.. There is no risk in waiting for 10-20 years except you lose your passion. You will have kids and they will be US citizens and you need not worry about that.. And I believe by the time you get a Greencard, you might probably don't want to get it..

Sharan D'souza Shantanu, we had similar thoughts when we completed our MS from the US. "It will come whenever-no hurry". We completed 15 yrs in the US with a priority date EB-2 2010. While the priority date is 2009 and we think we are close-It is 4 yrs now it has not moved from 2009 just retrogressed. 

We have 2 kids born in the US, bought our house and living comfortably but without any job stability. As you get too comfortable your frustration will also increase. Once you have kids it is difficult to uproot them and take them to India.

If I were you I would look for a MNC company outside US and come back on EB-1. We regret not taking that step. Good luck!
