US tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft have issued warnings to their employees holding H-1B visas not to leave the country, Washington Post reported.
H-1B visa holders, especially Indians are being advised to avoid international travel to reduce the risk of being denied re-entry into the US
The companies are cautioning employees due to uncertainties in US immigration policies, particularly under the Trump administration, which may impact visa holders' ability to re-enter the country.
The warning is directed at Indian tech workers, who represent the largest group of H-1B visa recipients in the United States.
The H-1B program, which grants 65,000 visas annually, is a critical pipeline for skilled foreign workers in the tech industry, with Indians receiving the majority of these visas.
Some employees have already canceled travel plans to India to avoid potential complications with re-entering the US.
Indian H-1B holders face extended waits for green cards due to per-country caps, heightening their vulnerability to immigration policy shifts.
