Indian H-1B applicants faced major delays after the US State Department expanded its social-media vetting rules, requiring all profiles to be set to public for review. Interviews in India were rescheduled as the new process tightened screening for H-1B and H-4 dependents. At the same time, the department said about 85,000 visas across categories had been revoked since January, citing security concerns and past offences. Officials also noted that students made up a significant share of the cancellations. The developments followed President Trump’s approval of a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas.
