How US social media screening is causing stamping delays, distress for Indian H-1B applicants
Krishna Iyer (name changed) got an email from the US Consulate in Chennai on Tuesday, December 9, just before boarding his flight to India that his H-1B Visa renewal stamping interview scheduled for end of December 2025 has been moved to July 2026.
However, Iyer was not alone. Thousands of several Indian H-1B and H-4 visa applicants received update that their visa renewal interviews were auto-rescheduled by the US consulates across India, that too not by just days or weeks but by several months to 2026.
