So girlfriend is stuck in India due to Biden thinking that tax paying H1B visa holders are same as the tourists that come to get a picture taken with Mickey Mouse at Disney. (I like that Biden is a lot more watchful than Trump but this is ridiculous) We're considering using the "last 14 days in India" part of the proclamation. Essentially go to Mexico from India, which you can do thru Lufthansa. Stay in Mexico for 14 days, and then fly to the US. Are we crazy for thinking this? Anyone did this or something similar to this?

It's totally legit. Go before Mexico changes their mind.
A 14 day stop in Cancun doesn't sound too bad 😎
Right? She's been wanting to go to Mexico anyway lol
Don't you need Mexico visa or is it visa on arrival for Indian citizens?
You don't need a visa if you have a valid US visa
i.e. if you have a H1B visa, you can go to Mexico and that would be valid. Interesting. Then just stay somewhere for 14 days n then take the flight. Gotcha. Do you know the scenario for H1B stamping in Mexico?
Good idea. One of my friends did that. Landing in O'Hare tomorrow
My friend stayed in Maldives for 14 days and landed in the US yesterday.
Can I PM you for some details? Her stance is a bit conservative about traveling "far" from India and would go somewhere closer and Maldives would fit the bill perfectly
Sure, I'll have to talk to my friend to get the details. He tried Sri Lanka first and was denied Visa and then tried for Maldives that much I know.
She should stay at India, travel ban is placed for a reason, and what is wrong with that?
Her lease is up in July. I live across the country in a non-remotable job, so apart from a weekend or so, I can't move her entire apartment. She could just renew the lease but they're raising the rent by $300 so doesn't make sense. Obviously affecting her ability to do her job due to the hours as well. Getting bored in India as well since everything is closed. And I'm out here starting to travel
If someone is local who can open the house, she can use Clutter for storing and packing all her stuff and empty the house. I have used their service as I had to move immediately and had no help. They scheduled a day and took my stuff, stored it for 3 months until I was finding a place.
She can go month to month lease, right?
Yeah for $600 more. Also doesn't make sense to keep paying 3K in rent while you aren't even living there when you have this option lol
Dude. Due to covid restrictions rent cannot be raised like this. At least in WA.
My co worker just did this. But he stayed 2 weeks in Ethiopia. It works. As long as they "quarantine" for 2 weeks before traveling to the US there should be no problems.
Why is your language is so bitter when I'm trying to solve an issue? No one else thinks I'm bitter so no need to moan when you can't help cuz no one invited you here either 🤣 FYI - I'm a US citizen in case "non-invitation" is an issue for your bitterness with H1B visa holders
Because it's called Capitalism.

Canceling debt isn’t inflationary or costing tax payers
I have known people who did this recently and successfully entered the US. It's risky since the rules keep changing, so YMMV.
