Indians from other countries can also apply for US visa: Getting US visa proves to be a big challenge for many Indians. There is a waiting period of more than 500 days for a US visa. Now understanding the same problem, a big announcement has been made by the American Embassy in India.
Changes in these rules of visa
It has been said that Indians who are traveling abroad can now apply for US visa from that country only. That is, if you have gone to another country, then you can take a visa appointment by going to the American Embassy there.
There is news of relief for Indians regarding US visa. Getting a US visa proves to be a challenge for many Indians. There is a waiting period of 800 days for a visa. In view of this, the Joe Biden government has changed the visa rules.
The US Embassy in India has announced that Indians from other countries can also apply for US visas. This step has been taken in view of reducing the number of backlogs as well as the waiting period of 800 days for US visa.
Emphasis on increasing the staff
Indians from other countries can also apply for US visa: Along with introducing the new facility, emphasis has also been laid on increasing the consular staff. Special interviews will also be conducted for first time applicants. During the COVID pandemic, a lot of US embassy staff were let go as there were not many visa applications at that time.
India is one of the very few countries that has seen a big jump in applications for US visas after travel restrictions related to the coronavirus were lifted. The US has announced that it will recruit more employees by the summer of this year.
