Indian students in USA are treated very poorly. It is not just Indian students but all Indians are treated very poorly.
Indians are subject to racial limits in USA.
USA passed a law that restricts how many Indians and Chinese can get greencards per year. Out of total 120,000 greencards only few thousand go to Indians. Europeans are given a preference. As a result there is huge backlog of greencard applications in USA.
If you are an Indian student and if you get a job in USA and want to immigrate you have to wait around 150 years to get greencard. Until then you have to jump around all sort of visas which will treat you as second class citizen at every step.
Second class visa.
As a student on F1 and later OPT you will be called a job stealer, fraudster, cheap labour and so on. If you have to move to H1B then you have to go through a complex lottery and it takes years for USCIS to even renew an existing visa. Often you will not be able to travel to India as Indian consulate too will have backlogs of months.
All your classmates will get their geencards and citizenships before you.
My neighbor got his green card finally, 18 years after coming as a student. A bunch of his neighbors threw an America themed party for him on Saturday.
Was a blast. In 5 years, we’ll be throwing a naturalization party too!

How American politicians hate Indian – Immigrants.
Some American politicians such as Senator Dick Durbin are known to be deeply racist towards Indian Immigrants have often worked very hard to hurt Indian immigrants. Indian immigrants even created a website about him.
DURBIN on #EagleAct —
"To help the people from India at the expense of everyone else is their solution. You can imagine everyone else has a different opinion so we're trying to find some middle ground. The clear solution is more green cards so they don't have to wait 25 years."

What are the alternatives ?
Canada is the most attractive of options today followed by Australia and UK. Canada is much better as their immigration system is not racially biased, there is a much larger immigrant community and everyone is much more hospitable. Unlike US immigration system it is much more welcoming and will not humiliate you.
Where can I get authentic information from Indian students who are already in USA ?

Where can I verify that US government is indeed racist towards Indians ?

Planning to use the dropbox process to renew your U.S. visa? Excellent! The dropbox process will save you a trip to the Embassy or Consulate making your visa application process even easier.
