Google and Apple have advised employees requiring visa stamps to avoid international travel due to extended visa processing times. Memos from BAL Immigration Law and Fragomen, representing Google and Apple respectively, highlight potential delays. The State Department is prioritizing thorough vetting of visa cases. Additionally, new social media vetting requirements have led to canceled or rescheduled U.S. embassy appointments for Indian professionals. Both companies previously warned of a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications.
