H1B Horror: People Facing Bad Situations In Homeland?
This prolonged uncertainty has affected not only her career growth but also her personal life.
By: Tupaki Desk | 4 Jan 2026 9:00 PM ISTThe United States administration has started to largely crackdown on the immigration policies, and this is extending to the H1B work visa as well. The matter has reached a pinnacle point now as people are facing bad situations even in their home countries.
Many Indian professionals who have received approval for their US work visas are facing an unexpected struggle. Even after getting their visas stamped, several employees remain stuck in India as companies delay or cancel their relocation plans.
One such case involves a woman whose visa was approved long ago, yet her employer continues to ask her to work remotely from India. Despite holding a valid visa, she has been unable to move to the United States due to internal company decisions and rising operational costs.
This prolonged uncertainty has affected not only her career growth but also her personal life. Important milestones such as marriage and long term planning have been postponed, leaving her mentally exhausted and frustrated.
Immigration experts point out that stricter rules and increased compliance checks in the US have made employers cautious about bringing foreign workers on site. As a result, many companies prefer remote work arrangements even after visa approvals.
For affected employees, the situation feels like being caught in limbo. Changing jobs is risky, and waiting indefinitely for relocation creates emotional and financial stress. This growing trend highlights how visa approval alone no longer guarantees a chance to work and live in the United States.
