Imagine getting your US visa approved but your passport stuck with the embassy for more than a year. This is exactly what happened to an Indian aspirant who took to social media to share his experience.
While his sister got her B1/B2 visa and passport back in just three weeks, his passport has been with the US Embassy in New Delhi since May 2024.
Every time he asks, they say it’s “under administrative processing” and to wait. But a year is not wait, that’s putting someone’s life on hold. Without a passport, he can’t travel anywhere, not even outside India.
Netizens suggest trying to show urgent travel plans and withdraw the passport. Others think the embassy may have lost it or is stalling on purpose.
This is more than just a delay, this wait has become borderline torturous for the visa applicant. For an Indian following rules, this is pure frustration, especially when the embassy offers no real answers.
It is better to take legal action and speak up way before a year has passed. No one should be forced to pause their life because of endless embassy delays.
