The United States issued a record 1.4 million visas for Indians in the year 2023, which is the highest so far, slashing the visitor visa appointment wait time by 75 per cent. The US Embassy and Consulates in India released a statement saying that now Indians represent one out of every 10 US visa applicants around the globe.
Despite numerous initiatives, the US visa appointment wait times at the Hyderabad Consulate still hover around nearly one year.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States would refuse visas to current or former officials, and their family members, if found to be involved in 'repressing members of marginalised or vulnerable populations'.
