Indians Applying For Us Visa

Around 2,000 of "dreamers" in the US are Indian, and they are now eligible to apply for employment-based visas, like the H1-B.

Six individuals, including four Indian nationals, were on Friday indicted by a federal court for staging armed robberies in Chicago and the suburbs so that the victims could apply for immigration visas reserved for certain crime victims in the US.

Around 1.1 million Indian-origin non-immigrant visa holders are waiting for their priority date to become current to apply for an I-485 for a green card.

An individual travelling to the United States on a business or tourist visa -- B-1, B-2 -- can apply for new jobs and even appear in interviews, a federal agency said Wednesday.

Students looking to study in the United States may now be able to apply for a visa a year before their course begins.

Indian visa applicants require a wait-time of over two years just for getting an appointment, a US government website showed, while the timeframe is only two days for countries like China.

Stressing the need for the right documentation, he said, “Make sure you’ve included the right documentation. That is the offer letter from the university – the CAS, the TB certificate and your proof of funding.”

Those who have been refused a F-1 Student Visa before will not be able to get a slot when the appointment applications open this summer, Minister Counsellor for Consular Affairs at the US embassy, Donald L Heflin said on Wednesday.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday told Parliament that India is trying to convince the US that tapping into the Indian talent is in mutual benefit of the two countries.

A new study from National Foundation for American Policy shows that the US government is making things worse for major Indian IT companies.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday the South American nation will drop its requirement that visiting Chinese and Indian tourists or businesspeople obtain visas.

There has been a "dramatic increase" in the number of H-1B visas being held up, a coalition of American employers representing top IT companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft has said and alleged that the US immigration agency was "acting outside" of its own regulations.

There are a total of 306,400 primary Indian applicants waiting for their US green cards. The existing laws impose per-country-limit of seven per cent of total green cards issued.

In the last five years, the demand for visas to travel to the United States has increased by over 60 per cent, US Embassy said.

Do not lie during visa interview. Do not give fake documents. Do listen carefully to the visa interview officer. These are some pointers the US embassy in India has given to students who are preparing to apply for a visa
