The US Ambassador becomes a part of the consular team to interview 1000 Indian candidates

The US Ambassador to India will become a part of the consular team that is going to Interview 1000 Indian applicants for the US Visa. In 2023, the US consulate processed more than 1.3 million visas for Indian candidates. The number is expected to increase in 2024. The motive of the ambassador is to provide some support in fingerprint assistance, verification process, and other legalities involved with processing visas. By doing so, the US consulate wants to understand the shortcomings in the visa processing for Indian candidates. As the demand for the US visas is expected to increase in India, the US government wants to make sure that all the interested in genuine candidates are granted a student Visa at the right time. In the past few months, the multiple US Consulates have opened different parts of India to make Visa applications more accessible for students.
