After Google, Apple warns visa-holding staff against overseas travel amid US visa delays

According to a Business Insider report, outside immigration counsels representing both Apple and Google sent emails cautioning visa-dependent employees against international travel if they require a visa stamp to re-enter the US.

The advisories come amid mounting backlogs in routine visa appointments following the rollout of enhanced social media screening by US authorities.

A memo sent on Thursday by BAL Immigration Law, which represents Google, warned that some US embassies and consulates are facing visa stamping delays of up to 12 months.
