Delay in US H-1B Visas Puts Indian Applicants in Trouble
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has expressed concern over delays in the issuance of H-1B visas for Indian citizens, reports 24NewsHD. Officials say the backlog is causing significant difficulties for applicants planning to work in the United States.
Spokesperson Randhir Jaswal admitted that the delays are affecting skilled Indian workers and creating frustration among those waiting abroad. The ministry highlighted that strict screening processes and public visibility of applicants’ profiles on social media have added to the challenges.
Some stranded visa holders have reportedly vented their anger online, blaming Indian authorities for the prolonged procedures. Experts note that many Indian professionals prefer working overseas for better opportunities, often considering life abroad more stable than in India.
These developments underscore broader concerns regarding emigration trends and the challenges faced by Indians seeking international employment, raising questions about systemic issues within India’s approach to supporting its skilled workforce.
