Entering on a b2 requires a return ticket that CBP occasionally ask to see.

You are mistaken. Only entry on the VWP absolutely requires a return ticket as a condition of entry. That being said, anyone seeking entry on a B-2 is probably opening themselves up to additional scrutiny if they don't have a return ticket.

You are correct. I should've phrased it as entering on a b2 should ideally hold a return ticket, but yeah, a lack of one would attract elevated scrutiny.

Or onward travel

or they will have to go back to the home country

 

from OP's initial post. Reckon a return ticket to India following b2 admission.

This is an increasingly common tactic by desis (Indian nationals) to i485 on a b2 visa. And each time, the response here is the same; entering the US on such a visa with intent to adjust status is visa fraud. There is no 90-day rule; it's a myth. 

 

Entering on a b2 requires a return ticket that CBP occasionally ask to see. They need to exit the US on that return ticket and go with consular processing for an IR5 visa in Mumbai. 

One should always keep their personal opinions regarding specific nationalities to themselves. DO NOT generalize your comments towards specific group of people, no matter where you are from.

I am here long enough but we are here to help people not to judge them or form an opinion.

[Boiler 45,522]

 Rather presumptive, I have never asked why people are on here, I assume for a variety of no doubt changing reasons.

 

How can you help without an understanding of the situation.

That was not a personal opinion, rather a statement based on trends; a set of trends not uncommon on desi-centric forums that I see regularly. I suggest trying not to take things personally, esp ones not directly addressed to you. I have traveled to India, and within India a number of times, and am somewhat attuned to the way of thinking as it related to visas/immigration. And without getting into specifics, I've seen firsthand the work inside embassies.

We like helping members do things legally, like filing for an IR5
