Hundreds of Indian H-1B visa holders who travelled to India for visa renewal are stranded after the US State Department postponed December interview appointments to March. The delay is linked to a new social media vetting policy. Many workers had planned short visits and are now stuck with expired appointments. Law firms say there is no clear timeline for resolution. The US embassy warned applicants not to visit consulates on old dates. Tech companies like Google and Apple advised staff to avoid travel. India makes up the largest share of H-1B visa holders.
