Google alerts staff: Avoid travelling abroad; 12-month visa delay could leave workers stuck
Google has advised US-based employees on certain visas, including H-1B, to avoid international travel due to significant visa stamping appointment backlogs at US embassies and consulates. These delays, reportedly up to 12 months, are linked to new social media vetting rules enforced by the Department of State, prioritizing thorough vetting over speed.
