Beware! Perfume Name Leads To Visa Revocal!

A strange and unfortunate incident has shocked the NRI community in the United States. An Indian-origin man reportedly had his U.S. visa revoked after airport officials found a perfume bottle labeled “Opium” in his luggage.

The officers suspected the man of carrying narcotic substances because of the name, even though “Opium” is actually a popular fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent, a well-known French luxury brand.

According to reports, the man had bought the perfume from a duty-free shop during his trip. However, when his luggage was screened by airport authorities, they misunderstood the product label and detained him for questioning. Despite his repeated explanations and proof that the bottle contained only perfume, officials decided to revoke his visa and send him back to India.

This case has drawn widespread attention on social media, with many NRIs calling it a shocking example of ignorance and overreaction by authorities. Legal experts say the man may have to go through a long appeal process to restore his visa status.

The incident serves as a caution for all travelers to double-check the items they carry abroad, even branded products, as minor misunderstandings can lead to serious consequences at international airports. The NRI community has urged U.S. authorities to investigate the issue fairly and reinstate the man’s visa.
