"Women who emigrate to the US on ‘dependent visas’, to join their husbands working on H1B visas, often do not know what to expect. They uproot themselves from their homes and families and arrive in an alien land to begin life anew, clueless as to what this might entail. Strained marriages and lives thrown out of gear are only some of the complications that ensue. This book gives voice to some such ‘visa wives’ and their experiences, while offering practical advice on settling in, working, networking, assimilating and making friends, to those contemplating a move to the US.
