The US Embassy in India is making it faster to get visas by hiring more people and opening new consulates in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Bengaluru. This is happening because they want to strengthen the connections between the two countries, especially after the recent India-US talks.
The US Ambassador, Eric Garcetti, mentioned that they’ve already added more staff to the Hyderabad consulate, and they’re getting places ready for new consulates in Ahmedabad and Bengaluru. Recently, they’ve been giving out one-third more US visas in India, and they’re planning to issue 10-15% more visas than usual this year.
Garcetti also talked about the Israel-Hamas conflict, saying we need a lasting peace to avoid future violence. He’s worried about the increasing civilian casualties and is calling for everyone to follow international humanitarian law.
In short, the US Embassy is making things faster and easier for visas in India, showing how much they want to strengthen the bond between the two countries.
