India has formally conveyed concerns to the United States regarding significant delays and disruptions in H-1B visa interview scheduling, impacting thousands of Indian professionals. The Ministry of External Affairs stated that while visa matters are a sovereign issue, the government is actively engaged with US authorities to minimize hardships faced by citizens, including extended periods of being stranded and impacts on family life and education. These disruptions follow new US screening processes, including social media vetting, which have led to appointments being rescheduled months later.
