US Vice President JD Vance defended H-1B visa restrictions as "true Christian politics" prioritizing American labor and economic dignity at Turning Point USA's convention. He argued that Christian values should inform government's approach to economics, questioning why companies bypass American workers for cheaper third-world options. Meanwhile, Indian H-1B visa holders face severe disruptions as US consular offices abruptly rescheduled appointments between December 15-26, stranding professionals who traveled home for visa renewals. The delays follow expanded social media vetting policies implemented under the Trump administration. Previously limited to student visas, the online presence review now covers all H-1B specialty occupation workers and H-4 dependents, creating uncertainty for Indian professionals.
