H-1B visa holders in limbo – What social media content can get you in trouble? ‘Red flags’ to watch out for

Indian H-1B visa workers who returned to India this month to renew their US work permits have reportedly been thrown into chaos after American consulates abruptly cancelled their appointments and pushed them back by several months. From inconsistencies in personal details to locked social media profiles, multiple social media aspects can get H-1B visa applicants into trouble.

Hundreds of appointments were scrapped between 15 and 26 December– a window many H-1B holders choose because it aligns with the US holiday season.
