AI engineer loses H-1B job as project moves to India

An Indian AI engineer lost his H-1B job in the US after his Fortune 500 employer relocated his entire project to India.

He had spent six years in the US, including a master's degree and over three years at the company, before the project was moved.

The engineer faced a 60-day grace period under US immigration rules to find a new H-1B sponsor, a common challenge for visa-dependent workers.

His Reddit post highlights the irony of moving to the US for better opportunities only to have his job follow him back to India.

The story underscores ongoing tensions between offshore outsourcing, visa uncertainty, and career risks for global tech professionals.
