There’s growing buzz around international travel to the United States, as several countries have recently updated their travel advisories. This move has triggered increased immigration checks, particularly affecting Indian Green Card holders and those on H-1B visas.
Many travellers are now feeling uncertain and even anxious about what these changes mean for their upcoming trips. U.S. immigration agencies have started closely monitoring entries and exits, leading to longer wait times, more thorough document checks, and possible delays at ports of entry.
However, officials stress that these are only precautionary measures. Legal residents and valid visa holders are not at risk of losing their status. The key is to stay informed and travel prepared.
Countries like France, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Finland, and the United Kingdom have all updated their travel advisories for the U.S.
🔹 France – Check with your airline and the US embassy for any visa or ESTA application updates.
🔹 Canada – Starting April 11, 2025, Canadians staying in the US for over 30 days must register with the US government.
🔹 Denmark – Transgender travellers should review the latest changes in gender identification policies.
🔹 Germany & Finland – Travellers with gender markers different from birth should verify entry requirements in advance.
🔹 UK – Stricter enforcement of entry rules means British travellers should confirm their eligibility with the US embassy.
🔹 India – Green Card and H-1B holders may face additional scrutiny upon re-entry. Travellers should carry valid passports, unexpired visas or Green Cards, proof of employment, tax documents, university enrollment papers (for students), and other supporting records.
So, while these new checks may add a few steps to your journey, there’s no reason to cancel your plans. The U.S. remains an exciting and welcoming destination.
