American Citizen - Indian

Hi guys. I wanted to find out what the treatment of Indians is who are citizens of the United States. I hear in general Indians are considered and treated like one of the lowest groups in society.

How true is that for American Citizens since no one ever starts a greeting with "Hi I am an American citizen"? Is it everywhere? Does it matter if you are in management? How about at work for Indians vs Indians from US?

Salary for US Citizen Indian vs Indian from India

People who want to debate with me about the way I asked the question and that it shouldn't matter where you are from and how dare i ask this are welcome to post. I will not entertain your comments. People who see stereotypes as is and are experiencing this please share. I am not currently in Qatar but would like to know before I invest my time, money, and family's comfort and move there. Selfish I know :) I'm American. Kidding.

According to international standards it should not matter what nationality you have, it's considered discriminatory. However, Qatar currently is about 1,400 years behind international standards, so you know what to expect.

Abida, At QL you are being treated as an Indian , same will happen with you at your work place , ask why ? ....... because you yourself are not ready to see & believe yourself as an American ...... ... .... You are trying to travel in two boats ........... never mind ...... so many people do it everyday .......... Your salary must be less than an Indian for the first 3 years because you don't know where do you stand today ...... ...... You are living in the past ........... Night is over . The sun is up , open your eyes & you will see the sun ........... .................

There are hundreds and thousands of Indians working in Qatar and I am one among them. What you have heard about the treatment given to Indians in Qatar is not true though it is true that white skin gets more attention and high salary comparatively.
