India to pip China in getting US visas by 2023, to be No. 2

INTERNATIONAL DESK: India is expected to surpass China in getting the number of US visas by 2023 and will be ranked two in the issuance of visas after Mexico, a senior US embassy official said.

The senior US embassy official in New Delhi announced that they are opening slots in mid-November.

“For various kinds of visas, we would not have much wait time. Each separate category has some wait time,” a senior US embassy official added.

The US has opened up 100,000 slots for applicants of H and L worker visas. This has already happened which will cut down the wait times. “India is a number one priority for Washington right now. We have big categories in students, high-tech workers, tourists, and business,” the official said. (ANI)
