text: Makes sense but not all South Asians come here on F1/H1B either. 80% of my family came here on family based immigration. Most of them struggled for years, saved up money and bought businesses back in 70s/80s and prospered. My parents came here on family based immigration and had to work minimum wage jobs for 2 years before they could apply for residency here and work as doctors.I see it happen even today.
