‘Humiliation ritual for Indians’: Outrage over US postponing H-1B interviews

Many Indians heading home for the holidays now find themselves stuck in a very stressful visa situation. The US State Department postponed thousands of H-1B visa interviews in India, leaving workers confused, angry, and searching for answers. On social media, users slammed the sudden delays, describing them as “performative cruelty” and even a “humiliation ritual,” with many saying the visa system now feels broken for both applicants and new graduates in the US.
