Amazon Allows Stranded H-1B Workers Remote Access
Amazon has a special work permit for employees who are stuck in India because of visa problems.
These employees can now work from India, but they can't do all their usual tasks.
This has made some workers worried about how they can do their jobs properly.
Amazon says this is just a temporary solution while they wait for their visas to be sorted out.
Amazon allows H-1B visa holders stranded in India to work remotely temporarily.
Employees face significant restrictions on what they can do while working remotely.
The restrictions have left many workers questioning their ability to perform their jobs effectively.
This temporary measure is a response to prolonged H-1B visa delays.
Amazon has not provided a long-term solution for these employees.
