Family Relocation FAQ
How do I bring my family to the US from India?
Bringing family depends on your own US status. H-1B and L-1 holders can bring spouses and children under 21 on H-4/L-2 dependent visas. US citizens can sponsor spouses (IR-1/CR-1, immediate) and parents (IR-5, immediate). Green card holders can sponsor spouses and children but face waiting periods. Each family structure requires a different petition strategy, which we plan comprehensively.
What schools are available for Indian children relocating to the US?
Indian families typically consider public schools (free, high quality in suburban districts), private schools (independent or parochial, ₹10–50L/year), and IB (International Baccalaureate) schools. Top school districts include those in Frisco/Plano TX, Cupertino CA, Montgomery County MD, and Naperville IL. We advise on school district selection as part of neighborhood and housing planning.
How does US healthcare work for Indian families relocating?
US healthcare is primarily employer-sponsored or privately purchased. Newly arrived families typically purchase health insurance through the ACA marketplace or employer plans. Major insurers include Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealth, and Cigna. We advise on insurance plan selection, finding Indian-speaking physicians, and navigating the US healthcare system — which differs significantly from India.
What is the process for getting a US driver's license for Indians?
Each US state issues its own driver's license. Generally: visit the DMV with your passport, visa, proof of address, and Indian driving license; pass a written knowledge test; and pass a driving test. Some states have reciprocity agreements with India. International Driving Permits from India are accepted for short visits. Getting a US DL within 30–90 days of arrival is strongly recommended.
How do I open a US bank account as a newly arrived Indian family?
Major banks (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi) typically require: passport, US visa, SSN or ITIN, and a US address. Chase and Citi have branches in India where Non-Resident accounts can be pre-established. Credit unions often have lower fees and are more welcoming to new immigrants. Building credit history early through a secured credit card is important for future financial activities in the US.
What is Social Security and how does it affect Indian families in the US?
Social Security is the US federal retirement and disability program. Employees contribute 6.2% of wages (employer matches). Indians on H-1B and L-1 visas working in the US contribute to Social Security. Under the US-India Totalization Agreement (still pending ratification as of 2025), contributions may be credited. Indians who spend fewer than 5 years in the US typically cannot claim Social Security benefits, but F-1/J-1 holders may be exempt.
