Google warns staff with US visas against international travel due to embassy delays — report

Google warns U.S. visa holders to avoid international travel amid embassy processing delays, Business Insider reports.

Alphabet's GOOGL.O Google has advised some employees on U.S. visas to avoid international travel due to delays at embassies, Business Insider reported on Friday, citing an internal email.

The email, sent by the company's outside counsel BAL Immigration Law on Thursday, warned staff who need a visa stamp to re-enter the United States not to leave the country because visa processing times have lengthened, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
