US 'Prudential Revocations' of H-1B Visas Hit Indians Hard

• H-1B and H-4 visas are being 'prudentially revoked' for some holders.
• A prudential revocation is a temporary, precautionary measure, not a cancellation, affecting those outside the US or planning to leave.
• It means the visa status will be re-examined at the next visa appointment, often due to past law enforcement interactions.
• Indians, who are a majority of H-1B holders, will be significantly impacted; those in the US can stay, but leaving prevents re-entry without re-application and increased scrutiny.

Why It Matters: H-1B visa revocations impact Indian workers' US travel and residency.
