@imabug That’s very classic story of us immigrants.
Mathematically put, it is the ‘X+1’ syndrome. 1. Come to do Graduate school w the plan to go back. 2. Do 1 year of practical training and go back. 3. Oh I got married, how about I see America and go back..

4. BTW I have a child, let’s make sure the child is healthy & then go back in 2 years. 5. A 2nd child is on the way, oh I will go back before they go to school. 6. My tenure is almost reachable & as soon as get my green card I will go.

7. Interest rates or so low, let’s buy a house & will sell when I go 8. Public schools are so good, let us enroll kids in school. 9. Before you know kids are only speaking English but can understand & respond only when they want 10. Oh boy! Where did the time go
