Indian workers in US seek visa extensions amid coronavirus crisis: Report

Many working in crucial healthcare sectors, who fear unemployment and were asking for automatic extension, were now hoping for the provision to pass so that they can continue their stay and their jobs

Amid the global coronavirus pandemic, Indian workers across America have sought extensions of their US visas over concerns of losing work status due to soon-to-expire visas or delayed extensions.

Immigration attorneys and immigration think tanks were trying hard to find a solution, the American Bazaar said in the report on Friday, adding that several immigration groups were suggesting calls to Senators to ensure that visa holders do not bear the brunt of this calamity.

Last week, Immigration Voice, an immigration-related non-profit, reported that they were able to get a visa-related provision inserted in phase 3 coronavirus bill in the House.
