NEW DELHI: The US will from
next Monday (August 17) resume processing
students visas in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata as this fall semester is about to begin from next month. Thousands of Indians students who got admission to US colleges have been waiting for the process to begin.
The US embassy will, however, remain closed for routine immigrant and non-immigrant visa services.
The US embassy in Delhi tweeted on Friday: “Our consular sections are opening to process student and
academic exchange visitor visa applications on a limited basis. Student visas are a high priority, and we will make every effort to assist applicants in a timely fashion, while keeping our customers and staff safe. However, due to our very limited appointment availability we may not be able to accommodate all requests in time for the start of the fall semester.”
The US will first process emergency student and exchange visitor appointment requests received prior to August 12 and then offer
public appointments. “We will refresh appointments as we have availability, generally two weeks in advance. Prospective students and exchange visitors should schedule an appointment no more than three weeks prior to their class start date. We expect appointment slots to be filled quickly,” it says.
