The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi’s Minister Counselor for Consular Affairs, Don Heflin, provided an update on visa processing in India last week, outlining the steps officials are taking to reduce their processing time and appointment backlog. Highlights from the event are as follows.
Reducing the visa backlog.
Visa interview appointments.
Expedite requests.
MRV Fees.
Student visas (F, M and J visas).
Immigrant visas (green cards).
BAL Analysis: While Mission India is taking steps to reduce its backlog, applicants should continue to expect visa processing and appointment delays at the U.S. embassy and consulates in India. Service levels and processing times may vary from post to post. BAL will continue to monitor efforts to address the delays and will provide information as it becomes available. Employers and employees should continue to consult their BAL professional before planning international travel.
