Apple and Google advise visa-holding employees to stay in US amid Trump's immigration enforcement push


Apple and Google are advising some U.S.-based employees on visas to avoid traveling abroad due to potential difficulties returning to the United States, following heightened immigration vetting under the Trump administration. Internal memos reviewed by NPR indicate that both tech giants are cautioning staff after U.S. consulates and embassies reported months-long delays for visa appointments. The delays follow new rules from the Department of Homeland Security requiring travelers to submit up to five years of social media history for review, a policy criticized by free speech and privacy advocates.

For companies like Apple and Google, which rely heavily on foreign talent, the risk of being stranded overseas has prompted warnings against international travel. Apple’s law partner Fragomen advised employees without a valid H-1B visa stamp to avoid trips abroad, while Google’s law firm Berry Appleman & Leiden recommended the same. Both firms suggested employees consult their immigration teams before traveling if necessary. The guidance comes amid broader immigration policy changes, including a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visas and reports of delayed renewals, which could leave workers stuck overseas. The situation has also drawn attention from the Alphabet Workers’ Union, which is advocating for protections for visa holders amid heightened scrutiny and the possibility of layoffs that could threaten their legal status.
