INDIA BOOKING IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY INTERVIEW APPOINTMENTS FOR POTENTIALLY EXEMPTED H-1B APPLICANTS

A doctor colleague of mine in India informed me early this morning - July 15, 2020 -  that India has allowed some doctors to book immediate emergency interview appointments for H-1B visas.

Says - One doctor was interviewed for H-1B a day ago, and was told to pick up their passport with the visa today.

 

The doctor colleague herself is now also scheduled for an interview for next week, and was told she might receive her visa the same day as the interview or the very next day.

This is as of July 15th, 2020.

 

(The latest proclamations do state that such exemptions can exist for physicians, particularly covid-related medical professionals, and some others, local conditions permitting.)

 

In addition, the State Departments twitter account has advised that embassies could start processing applications on/by July 15th, 2020 or thereabouts, depending on local conditions.

Profile pic - Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village - Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Why this for the profile pic?  Often in movies and on TV when they show Hawaii they show this beach/view. So, instead of doing Kauai or some other locale, we decided to do here, so that whenever some show shows Hawaii and this view, we will see where we were married.

Of course Trump will make exceptions for some, he depends on hundreds these low wage workers to work at his resorts. This is yet another political stunt for Mango Mussolini.
