Indian entrepreneur Swapnil Srivastav said his US visa application was denied after officials concluded he lacked sufficient ties to India. Srivastav, founder of a sustainable bamboo kidswear company generating $12 million in annual recurring revenue, said he employs more than 100 people, has raised Series A funding and serves millions of Indian families. Despite these credentials, the visa application was rejected under the assessment that his ties to his home country were insufficient. Sharing the experience on social media, Srivastav said founders are accustomed to setbacks and indicated he would reapply later. His post sparked widespread discussion about US visa screening standards and applicant experiences.
