Google has advised employees with US visas to avoid international travel due to delays at embassies. The company’s outside counsel warned staff that visa processing times can take up to 12 months, and traveling internationally could lead to an extended stay outside the US.
The H-1B visa program for highly skilled workers is being vetted more closely, with increased screening of social media accounts. This has led to a significant increase in delays, prompting Google’s advice against international travel.
This decision comes as AI computing powers continue to shape the stock market, with investing.com’s ProPicks AI highlighting winning stock portfolios chosen by advanced algorithms. Despite delays, some global portfolios have still managed to beat their benchmark indexes, with 88% in the green so far this year.
