Indian CEO denied US visa for 'weak ties to India': 'Irony I run a company in India'

Jasveer Singh, an Indian-origin founder was denied a B1/B2 visa for US with reasons cited as his 'weak ties to India'. He shared on X that he had built everything in the country for the past 13 years and yet there was not enough proof that he would return.

Singh, who is the founder of a dating app, Knot dating and also listed in Forbes 30 under 30 Asia, said his visa had been denied under section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. However, he called the reasoning ironic as he ran a company, employed people, paid taxes and built everything in India over the past 13 years. "Apparently that is not enough proof that I’ll return to India."
