The U.S. Embassy in India issued a warning about significant criminal penalties for breaking U.S. law, amid ongoing disruptions to H-1B visa appointments. The Trump administration has focused on stricter immigration measures, citing abuse of the H-1B program and harm to American workers. This has led to postponed interviews for H-1B visas to examine applicants' online presence. Despite concerns from professionals and businesses, the administration acknowledges the need for global talent, though this has not eased appointment difficulties.
