Look on: rajkotupdates.news/the-us-is-on-track-to-grant-more-than-1-million-visas-to-indians-this-year!

What’s the deal? The US will hand out more than one million visas to people who hail from India in the coming year! Yes, you read it right. The visa bonus also includes H-1B visa that lets American firms hire foreign talent to fill positions that require specialized capabilities or expertise. Cool, right?

Check this out! The US is set to give out more than one million visas for Indians in the coming year. Donald Lu, the US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, spilled the secrets during an interview to PTI. He said that the Biden administration is on board especially this summer to make sure they can process all students’ visas to Indians beginning their studies this autumn. But they’re not going to stop there. They’re also speeding up the process for work visas such as H-1Bs and L visas. These are hot with IT professionals in India. This is going to be an extremely busy this year with visa application!

This visa an enormous deal for US businesses. They can recruit foreign workers to fill specialized positions that require an enormous amount of mental power. Think of technical or theoretical concepts. Who is benefited from this? Tech companies. They depend on it to recruit a lot of people every year, mainly from nations such as India or China.

Donald Lu spilled some more beans, claiming they’re currently in the process of handing out more than 1 million visas this year. That’s huge! And, wait for it the record-breaking pace is also being set in the field of student visas and immigrant visas.

But they’re just talking talk. Lu spoke of the US is committed to having all student visas approved this summer, particularly for Indian students who are preparing for the fall semester.

Then, here’s the real kicker. There’s been controversy in India over the long wait times for visa first-time applicants, particularly those applying to apply for the B1 (business) or B2 (tourist) visas. We hope they get rid of those wrinkles quickly.

You know what? India is on the rise as the second largest student destination for international students going into the US. This is pretty impressive, isn’t it?

But wait! There’s more positive news. Donald Lu spilled the beans that they’re paying serious attention to visas for workers as well. These visas, H-1Bs as well as L are now getting the top spot. And what about the waiting times for the visas are reducing in certain US consular departments in India? They’re now less than 60 days. Talk about speed-tracking!

Lu clarified she’s not slowing them down in this area. The priority of these visas is an important thing to both American as well as Indian economies. This means that they’re working to keep the wheels moving for these work visas.
