UPDATE:

Two physician colleagues were inspected and admitted into the US this morning at 8am, with an H-1B Visa, after a 15hr direct flight from India.

  1. Dept of Veterans Affairs (VA) - Approved and Offer Extended
  2. Department of Labor - Approved
  3. USCIS - Petition Approved, via Premium Processing
  4. Dept of State - Visa Approved and Issued, via Emergency Appointment
  5. Air India Check-In - Allowed to Board, with some initial push back from the Airline Check-In Agent, regarding their H-1B visa and the current restrictions. Embassy was contacted/confirmed their Exemption Status.
  6. CBP in NYC - Approved, via secondary inspection, which was quick & easy

 

Has been a long time coming, but they made it. Happy for them!

 

Several others have already made it, and several from England are expected to join very shortly. (There are twenty five or so, in all.)
