I have a cousin, naakanna oka 3 years older. Came to US for Bachelor's back in 1998 and also got his MS after that. Spoke to him yesterday he was telling me, he got a family sponsor for his GC and had it before he came down to the US. He started working for a company that had 30 employees at that time. Today it has 5000 employees and has been rated as one of the top 20 fastest growing companies in the US for the last 2-3 years. When he joined he was the 6th employee and their first engineer, so ended up getting mentored by the CEOs directly. Last year he was promoted to the CTO and being one of the earliest employees, got a lot of stock portfolio apart from bonuses. 

He is apparently quitting the company now to start his own business and with all the stocks and bonuses he made, he's a multi millionaire apparently. I think he did the smart thing, instead of joining an established company as a nobody he joined a company that was a nobody at that time. He's traveling the world to find some business contacts etc to setup his business. 

What a difference having a GC does to a person, compared to how we keep slogging it out till eternity. Just wanted to share. 

this is only one side of the story. There are lot of similar success stories on H1B too. 

You heard of Ruchi Sanghvi? She was the first lady engineer at Facebook.

She started her own company Cove, with two other co-founders. The company was sold to Dropbox in 2012 and Sanghvi joined Dropbox as VP of Operations.

My View: 

    GC certainly removes the restrictions that you have while you are with a temp visa. At the same time It does not make you neither smarter nor richer.

     Guys/Girls who has potential would certainly succeed irrespective of their status in USA but what if they want to setup your own Startup and input their Ideas? This is where GC helps you in achieving your goals. 

   GC certainly is a BIG thing especially if you Belong to the so called Aam Janatha of desis. WHY? Because atleast you don’t have to run your paychecks if you lose the job, don’t have to go fir stampings etc. these are just a few to name.

     Finally, Even if you have Talent, Skill and effort if you are not putting it in the right direction at the right time then it is of no use ( example : people applying for GCs currently or I can say for the past 5 years)

Of course he's a very smart guy and knows what to do at what time. But just saying even then if he didn't have a GC, he would have faced the same troubles most of us are facing. 

Even among us, I am sure there are a few smart people who can make a difference in terms of joining a start up and make it succeed but due to our visa situation, we won't even get a chance to try it. By the time we end up getting a GC, we will be too old and lost our youth. 

People always complain about i need GC for start up. But its not a true. "There is a will there is always a path". H1b meda kuda nevu start up start cheyyochu  and I don't know details about it.

Lol it is saying like that I can land on Sun but I don’t know the details.

”If there is a will then there is a way” holds good for most cases But I don’t think it applies in case of start ups while holding aH1b, you have to be a sleeping partner with zero monetary returns( legally) of course you can be an investor that’s a different thing. If that is the intention then yes you can be a partner.

Life is based on one simple formula - The harder you work, the luckier you get. 

of course, konta mandi vachi ah formula ni invalid chsaru lendi - more unethical things you do, much luckier you get.

Bro even beyond all that let's say you have a very entrepreneurial nature and want to experiment with new products/services so essentially you want to have your own start up. Do you think the angel investors that invest in such a company would be willing to do it if you were someone on a H1B visa waiting forever for your GC instead of being a permanent resident. 9/10 times they would go with the one that has the GC unless your idea is totally revolutionary and ground breaking. Unless you have millions of dollars to invest yourself, you would need funding to open your start up and being on H1B limits your options severely.

It used to be based on that formula not so much anymore. 

If you look at the kind of people and the quality of people when it comes to their ethics and the way they conduct themselves esp among some of the ones that came to the US at the turn of the century, your latter point proves itself to be true.
