Visa status due to COVID-19
Hey Guys,

I hope you all are safe and healthy.

I just wanted to get some insight on the visa status for those people whose visa was approved right before the world has been locked down but are unable to travel due to the pandemic. My L1-B visa was approved at the Chennai Consulate on February 11th and I was supposed to travel to US on March 15th, but my company decided to push my start date to avoid all unnecessary chaos and for my safety. Although, my visa is valid till November 2022, I am (like some of the other people out there) unable to travel at this point and might stay in India for a couple more weeks or months or however long the lockdown continues.

So, my question to you all is, what happens to the days I was not in the US? Will they cancel my visa for the days I was not in the US and extend my visa validity for the number of days I wasn't there? Or my visa validity is going to remain as is? Can someone shed some light on this please?

Thanks!
