H-1B Visa Cancelled at Abu Dhabi Over Remote Work and Overstay Concerns

A woman holding an H-1B visa had her visa cancelled and passport stamped 'Cancelled and Withdrawn' at Abu Dhabi preclearance while returning to the US after spending about two months in India. Officials cited overstaying and unauthorized remote work for a US company as reasons, despite her company's immigration attorney stating remote work from India is legal. She was directed to reapply for a visa but faces difficulties due to unavailable appointment slots. The case highlights differing interpretations of US immigration rules at preclearance.
