1/9 Indians in the US on a work visa can't go home. There’s NO appointments.
The now ~200k H-1B Telegram group is growing by 13,000 per month.
Even with ~$40m in fees, the 5 VACs process ~10,000 a month. The next availability is ~2024!
Here’s 6 stories from hurting families:
@USAndIndia@USAndMumbai@USAndChennai@PMOIndia for three years with no hope for one more year as well. These folks are parents of school going kids who would not like to miss the school in incoming academic year. So, we would request for kind support for us and please open more slots as soon as possible
Dear @USAndIndia, @USAndMumbai, @USAndChennai @USAndHydrebad @PMOIndia
We would like to make a humble request to please open more regular and dropbox slots for H1B/H14 visa in July/August 2022. The situation feels a nightmare when someone is starting the job in next month or so,
And now when someone tells me that YOU chose this! No, I didn’t choose this. It’s a truth. I didn’t know that this is how people are treated in America when those people are from India.
We have submitted US visa non immigrant application on 19th May 2022 for my son, Dhrishiv Parekh to the consulate office but haven’t received any intimation from them yet. Please help as we have travel date on 26th June. @USAndIndia@USAndHyderabad@mealibdelhi@DrSJaishankar
@USAndIndia@USAndIndia@USAndChennai I submitted my passport 1 month back at #vfs Bangalore for Visa. I still have not received my passport. There is no tracking available on the CGI website. Please help
@USAndIndia Sir/Madam, Please improve on Dropbox processing time for H/L. These folks are on business , not on leisure travel and cannot wait for weeks to
Get approval to go back to states for work. Please consider improving processing time.
@USAndIndia@USAndHyderabad Sir opening a new center is fruitless If there are no appointments to applicants especially after paying fees for Dropbox. H1b visa holders working in US suffer from failure of the team to keep up with appointment availability. #dropboxappointment
@USAndIndia@nituchandra @SonyPicsHomeEnt This is the state of Dropbox appointments for Indians @nituchandra This all ‘good information’ tweet from @USAndIndia is of no use if there r no appointments! Unless @USAndIndia treat celebrities differently & get them priority appointments, u r in line with 1000s of Indians!
More than 120k people in telegram group checking Dropbox appointments availability 24x7, waiting and trying to help each other. Really Painful!! While NONE available on @USCIS portal of @USAndIndia But AVAILABLE to AGENTS.
My sincere request to @USAndIndia to increase number of Dropbox appointments or start visa stamping in US itself. More than 100k people are waiting to visit India in summer vacations, but appointments get full in blink of time.
