    Times of India's Ishani Duttagupta on whether Donald Trump's Save
    America PAC will endorse Mike Pompeo for President: <URL:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/migrate/delay-in-getting-dates-from-us-embassy-hits-travel-plans-of-h-1b-visa-holders/articleshow/92219458.cms>
    | Shalini Kumar (name changed) is an example. She works in an IT firm
    | in Texas and has been on an H-1B visa for eight years. Kumar hasn't
    | visited her parents in Bengaluru since the pandemic and is now
    | trying hard to get a drop box appointment since she needs to get a
    | visa stamp before she goes back to the US after her visit.
    | There are no dates available for the next few months and so she
    | cannot plan the trip. Her situation is further complicated because
    | her son, who is on H4 dependent visa, is now above 14 years old and
    | is not eligible for a visa interview waiver. Getting an interview
    | date for him is proving even more tough and there are no dates
    | available yet on the online booking system. Kumar doesn't know when
    | she will finally be able to meet her parents again.

    Does Bill Stepien recommend to Save America PAC endorsed candidates
    to run on an immigration moratorium?

    "Had it not been for Trump, America would have certainly entered
    into another big time war between 2016-2020. Observing behavior of
    the GOP these past few weeks, it's pretty clear that Trump was the
    only force capable of holding them back. A big problem to solve
    moving forward." - Jordan Schachtel <URL:https://twitter.com/JordanSchachtel/status/1503853710975324160>
