NEW DELHI: India has flagged concerns over the US expansion of its H-1B visa programme review, saying it has caused hardship to Indian families. MEA said it received representations from nationals facing delays and problems in rescheduling visa appointments. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India had raised the issue with US in New Delhi and DC, hoping disruptions would be addressed. He said prolonged appointment delays stranded people, affecting family life and children’s education. The US expanded H-1B reviews from Dec 15, including H-4 dependents, globally. India remains engaged to minimise disruptions and support affected Indian professionals abroad.
