Delay in processing visas for those who are heading back to the United States from Tamil Nadu have put several jobs and personal lives at stake. “I have been waiting for over six weeks now for my visa to be processed. My office has been following up on when I would get back to work. I also had to reschedule my flight several times and I ended up losing thousands of dollars each time,” said Muthukumar (name changed) who works for a tech firm in the U.S.
Shyam Sundar (name changed), who works in a fin-tech firm said that he and his wife were stuck in India and were at the risk of losing their jobs. “Our vacation is over and its been 5 weeks and we still haven’t got our passports back. Our children need to go to school. Many of our friends are also facing similar situation and we request the U.S. Consulate to process it soon,” he added.
