Issue Of US Visas In India Being Speeded Up, Says Ambassador Garcetti

New Delhi: The US is accelerating the pace of issuing visas in India with more staff joining its Hyderabad consulate and new consulates to open up in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad soon, Washington’s Ambassador to New Delhi Eric Garcetti said here on Monday.

“Some more people have already joined the Hyderabad consulate as we are increasing the staff strength in the city and premises are being taken up in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad for setting up new consulates,” Garcetti said.

He said that he had a look at the new premises that the US is taking up to establish a consulate in Ahmedabad during his trip to the city to watch the India-Australia World Cup cricket final on Sunday.

Garcetti said the number of US visas that were being issued in India had gone up by one-third in recent weeks as part of the stepped up drive to clear the backlog.

The US ambassador said the waiting time for US visas for students and tourists had come down and it ranged from six months to a year depending on which office the application was made.

However, the US was focused on expediting the issuing of visas to Indian nationals.

He also said that the problem of delay was due to the large number of applicants that was on the rise so it was difficult to spell out the exact time lag.

This problem was also there in other large countries like Brazil and Mexico, he added.
