Google, Apple Warn Staff Against Foreign Travel Due to U.S. Visa Delays

Google and Apple have warned their employees about potential visa processing delays in the U.S., advising against international travel that may require visa stamping for re-entry. This caution, highlighted in internal memos, comes amidst concerns over unpredictability and prolonged delays in visa processing, particularly affecting foreign tech workers, including many Indian professionals.

The U.S. State Department has acknowledged the challenges and emphasized the need for thorough vetting, causing anxiety within the tech sector and leaving many H-1B visa holders stranded abroad.
