The U.S. Embassy in India has warned of criminal penalties for breaking U.S. law, amid ongoing delays in H-1B and H-4 visa appointments. This warning, echoing previous stances, has caused frustration among users on social media.

Despite challenges, areas of collaboration between the U.S. and India also exist.
