H-1B Visa Cancelled at Abu Dhabi Preclearance Over Remote Work from India

An H-1B visa holder was denied entry to the US at Abu Dhabi preclearance in January after officials flagged her for overstaying in India while working remotely. Despite completing visa stamping in December alongside her husband, her visa was cancelled and marked 'Cancelled and Withdrawn' on her passport. She was told to reapply but faces difficulty due to limited visa appointment availability. Her company's immigration attorney states remote work from India is legal, while officials cited visa and immigration law concerns.
