H-1B Stamp Cancelled at Airport Over India Stay Sparks Remote-Work Debate
A Reddit post claims a US H-1B visa was canceled during preclearance at Abu Dhabi airport after a two-month stay in India with remote work for a US employer. CBP officials allegedly deemed the overseas work an overstay, canceling the visa stamp while leaving the underlying H-1B petition intact and prompting a reapplication. Experts caution that travel and remote-work arrangements can trigger discretionary actions by border officials, underscoring uncertainty for H-1B holders.
