This is where the visa cancellation occurred. One of the affected workers shared a message on social media stating that they were stopped due to spending over two months in India. \u201cAuthorities revoked H-1B visa and denied port entry\u2026 even after showing emergency proof,\u201d the message read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Extended Absence Can Lead to Visa Revocation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to immigration norms, H-1B visa holders should not remain outside the US for more than 60 consecutive days without valid cause. Though employers may issue supporting documentation, final discretion lies with US immigration officers. Affected passengers were reportedly cited under provision 41.122(h)(3) and returned to India. Immigration experts suggest keeping trips limited to 30\u201340 days to avoid complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Social Media Reacts to the Incident<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident sparked discussion online. Some users expressed sympathy, while others pointed out the risks of non-compliance. \u201cVisa is a privilege, not a right,\u201d one user commented, stressing the need for awareness of H-1B regulations. Others criticized the system for ignoring emergencies, but agreed that rules must be strictly followed to avoid harsh consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/business\/investing-abroad\/h-1b-visas-cancelled-for-staying-in-india-us-sends-bengaluru-hyderabad-workers-back\/3888767\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant immigration development, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revoked the H-1B visas of three Indian IT professionals\u2014one from Bengaluru and two from Hyderabad\u2014at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
