Are you an H-1B stuck in India? Attorneys explain the only legal way to save your US job
The ongoing uncertainty around the H-1B visa process is creating serious challenges for Indian professionals, especially those who need to travel outside the US. With visa interview slots for 2026 currently unavailable across India and timelines extending into 2027, many H-1B holders are finding themselves stranded.
A recent post on a popular Facebook group that discusses NRI and US visa issues shows the growing anxiety among applicants. The user described the case of an H-1B professional who had to travel to Hyderabad last month due to a family emergency. Although he holds a valid I-797 approval, his visa stamp has expired, and he now needs to appear for stamping at a US consulate in India.
