82-Year-Old Indian Woman Denied Boarding in Singapore After US Visa Revocation
An 82-year-old Indian woman traveling from Bengaluru to Seattle with her US citizen family was denied boarding in Singapore after officials revoked her US visitor visa mid-journey. The family was initially not given reasons but later discovered through US travel records that she had overstayed by two days during a previous visit. The woman, holding a 10-year visa issued three years ago, was sent back to India while her family continued their travel plans.
