H-1B Visas Cancelled for Indian Workers at Abu Dhabi Airport
Some Indian workers with special H-1B visas were stopped from entering the U.S. at an airport.
This happened because they were out of the country for too long.
H-1B visas let people work in the U.S. in special jobs.
They can't stay outside the U.S. for more than 60 days without special permission.
Even with reasons like emergencies and letters from their companies, their visas got cancelled.
It's important to follow the rules about how long you can be away to avoid trouble.
If you are out of the country too long, you might not be allowed to come back.
Three Indian workers with H-1B visas had their visas cancelled at Abu Dhabi airport.
The workers were denied entry to the U.S. and sent back to India.
Visa cancellations occurred because the workers overstayed their permitted time outside the U.S.
Despite providing proof of emergencies and employer letters, the visas were still cancelled.
H-1B visa holders are advised to adhere to U.S. travel duration rules to avoid complications.
