India conveys concern to US over cancellation of H1B visa interviews

Visa-related issues pertain to the sovereign domain of any country, he said, adding: “we have flagged these issues and our concerns to the US side, both here in New Delhi and in Washington DC.”Jaiswal said several Indians have been stranded for extended periods of time in India causing a lot of “hardships” to them and their families.”The government of India remains actively engaged with the US side to minimise the disruptions caused to our nationals,” he said.The mass cancellation of scheduled interviews of the H-1B visa applicants in view of the enhanced vetting measures has resulted in significant delays in their return to the US.The rescheduling of the interviews is for all applicants who were previously given appointments from December 15 onwards.Most of them were already in India and are now unable to return to the US pending their new interview dates since they don’t have a valid H1B visa to travel back to the US for their jobs.
