✈️ Visa Turbulence: H‑1B Holders in Limbo
Meanwhile, across the Indian tech and expatriate community, many H‑1B visa holders are facing increased insecurity as the U.S. government intensifies visa revocations linked to employer fraud. A recent U.S. court ruling now allows individuals to challenge such revocations independently if they weren’t complici. Despite this legal relief, employee anxiety remains high, with many choosing to postpone plans to travel or renew visas, fearing rejection, longer processing times, or intensified scrutiny.
