Good News for Indian Students: Thousands of US Visa Slots Now Open

Thousands of Visa Slots Opened

The U.S. Embassy in India has announced the availability of thousands of student visa appointment slots across its consulates, aiming to support Indian students planning to study in the U.S.

Expedited Processing

This initiative is designed to streamline and speed up the visa processing process, reducing long wait times for students ahead of the upcoming academic year.

Record Number of Visas Issued

In 2023, the U.S. consular team in India issued over 140,000 student visas, marking a record for the third consecutive year and more than any other country.

Challenges in Booking Slots

Despite the increase in slots, some students, particularly in Hyderabad, are facing difficulties securing appointments, with slots filling up rapidly and wait times extending beyond two months.

Recommendation for Students

Prospective students are advised to regularly check the U.S. Embassy’s official visa appointment scheduling website to secure their slots as soon as they become available.
