The United States is reportedly working to further reduce wait times for visitor visas for Indians, with a decrease of 75% recorded last year. Rena Bitter, Assistant Secretary of the US Bureau of Consular Affairs, noted that the embassy in India processed 1.4 million visas last year. While wait times have been reduced by 75% for most categories, there is still some wait time for first-time tourists to the US, which officials are actively working to address.
