President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has made visa processes much more stricter for H-1B holders and one Indian couple shared their problems due to the current circumstances. A person claiming to be an Indian with a H-1B visa in the US wrote that he and his wife needed to travel back home since his mother-in-law was suffering from cancer.

The person shared that he and his spouse both had H-1B visas, meaning they both worked there, and noted that they needed 'stamping. Sharing the urgency of the situation on the Reddit post, the individual wrote “we need to visit India as soon as possible since my MIL is suffering from advanced stage of cancer.”However, the current administration's crackdown in immigration processes appear to have left the husband in two minds about whether both of them should head back home, or only one of them should make the trip to visit his ailing mother-in-law.

Here's what H-1B workers and employers need to know“Unable to decide if only my spouse should travel and I should stay here in US or we both should travel,” he wrote, noting that it would be ideal for him to travel back with his wife to offer support to her at a time when the woman's mother was suffering from ‘advanced cancer’. However, he noted that his wife was ultimately fine even if he stayed back while she traveled to India to take care of her ailing mother. Outlining his prime concern, the H-1B holder continued “due to visa uncertainty we both might lose our jobs if there is too much delay in coming back to US.” If a H-1B holder leaves the US they must get a valid H-1B visa stamp at a US Embassy or Consulate. Currently, under the Trump administration, social media screening and other checks have led to massive delays in securing appointments. Not returning to work for a long time could likely lead to job loss, which is likely to have factored into the fear expressed by the H-1B visa holder in this Reddit post. The man went on to share that they had built a life in the US and did not wish to relocate to India. “We have a house here and 2 kids(middle schooler and a toddler). Living in India at this time is also challenging with a toddler due to extremely hot weather,” he wrote, asking if there were possibilities of appointments opening up soon. The post gained a variety of reactions, with some suggesting the man stay back, while others recommended shifting back to India. H-1B post gets mixed reactionsOne person commented “So sorry for your spouse. With current conditions and no stamping, there’s a high chance there’s no coming back.” Another added “tough spot. drop everything and go together. jobs, house, visas, they all matter but not more than being there for your spouse when her mom is dying. regret from not going lasts longer than any career setback. emergency appointments do open up, check the portal at odd hours, 2am 3am IST. some consulates release slots in random batches. also call the embassy emergency line directly, explain the medical situation, sometimes they squeeze you in.”Yet another said “So sorry for your spouse. I would recommend both of you going. This might be the last time you see your MIL. Do you have family that can help watch your kids in India so that you don’t leave them in the US?”. Meanwhile, some suggested that the wife goes and the man stays back. “Sorry about your MIL. It’s a tough spot to be in for sure. But very easy for people to say leave everything and go. It will all come back. Ummm sorry, no it won’t just come back. You are taking a huge risk with your kids future and comfort Your spouse should definitely go, but you should stay back with kids. Easier to get one appointment than two,” one wrote. Another added “You should stay here with your kids.”Meanwhile, one claimed that they had a smooth experience in a similar situation. “Just went through this returning to India for a family emergency. We worried about re-entering the US, but it was smooth sailing. The strict enforcement seems to be all show; if your H1B is solid, they let you right back in. Family is what matters most.”
