I am an HR professional with 10 years of experience in generalist role. I took a break in my career and moved to USA with my husband. I am on H4 dependent visa hence could not work. It has been 1 year now and I am still here although there is a probability that we may have to go back to India in next two years. I don't want to waste these years doing nothing at the same time would like to do something that can add value to my profile and help me get back on my career track after I go back to India.
As the labour laws and IR is different in USA as compared to India hence I am bit confused. I need suggestions from our experienced HR professionals about the course to be done in USA.

Dear Rajshri,
In the circumstances explained, I presume you may have a PG in HR, supposing you are yet to complete, you may pursue your MBA-HR thro' distance learning programme or BGL or Dip.in LL and other courses related to your field from Indian institutions. If you have interest in some other programmes, short term certificate courses, can be finished during your USA stay. Even if you are not able to attend exams during this stay you may write them after your return to India one after the other as you might complete the course in absence. All the lessons can be received at your Indian address if necessary. This might help you to secure a decent job when you are back in India and with a view that you will be able to adjust your chore as well. However for courses in US do you require a student visa ? Probably you may get some light on this US options from this thread:

Hi Deepika,
Don’t be depressed. You are well capable, well educated and had good experience in the field. It doesn’t matter much the gap you have it matters how strong you have your will power. There are many women’s like you on H4, but please don’t think negatively..
Your gap of 4-5 years are always less than your remaining entire life…
- Try to get H1 if possible..
- If you are interested do Ms
- there are lots of community colleges which offers some free course you can join to them.
- Do volunteer in non profit organisation e.g library, Medical center etc..
- register on Time bank organisation
- Do certification related to your technology e.g SCJP
Be happy because life is beautiful..
All the best..
Hello Deepika
I Came to US in 2007 with 3 years of IT experience and high hopes.I am sailing in the same boat with 5 years out of Market.As per my experience here in US i would suggest you to go look for some masters degree in universities near you and start your masters in that way you can get ur visa converted to (F1) student visa on which you can work for 20 hrs per week while pursuing ur studies and later on after finishing ur degree u can work for two years if u r on project with some company in ur internship period and with this process u’ll gain some US work experience than you will surely find a company to sponsor ur H1."
