US immigration attorneys advise against international travel

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Immigration attorneys in the US are advising H-1B, F-1 visa holders, and green card holders to avoid international travel. They cite delays in visa stamping, increased scrutiny, and potential extended stays outside the US as major concerns. Recent changes to visa interview waiver rules mean applicants must now wait for an interview if their visa expired more than twelve months ago. This affects many international students and workers needing visa renewals or changes. Green card holders are facing increased secondary inspections and overnight detentions at US entry points. Attorneys recommend that long-term green card holders apply for US citizenship to avoid complications when traveling abroad.
