H1B Cancelled Over $600 Fine? Beware Indians In USA!

The United States immigration authorities have been extremely authoritative when it comes to the visa restrictions. Even simple cases are leading to severe consequences like removal of visa ( mostly H1b ) and even possible deportation.

Now we have the case of H1B visa holder in the United States, who had his visa revoked over a simple fine of $600, which was a result of a traffic violation.

Going into the story, there is this one H-1B visa holder who had his U.S. visa revoked because he failed to pay a $600 traffic violation fine. This happened after he attended his first court hearing, and the judge imposed a $600 fine.

Sadly for him, he later moved to a new apartment, missed the notice, and failed to pay by the deadline. The case information was shared with DHS, and his visa was eventually revoked by the Homeland Security authorities and the immigration department.

The fact that H1B visa, which is one of the most priced documentations for the Indian community in the United States got cancelled for a simple traffic violation fine reflects the volatile situation of the Indian folk in USA.

We have arrived at a point where authorities are looking for simplest of reasons to cancel visas and issue deportation notices and hence, it is time for Indians to be extremely cautious of this situation.
