55,000 Indian Students Get Student Visa In USA: A New Record In Visa Approval!

Despite the pandemic, a record number of Indian student visas has been approved by the US.

New Record

The US mission in India said that over 55,000 students are set to arrive in the US for studies with more being approved per day.

The country is on track for another “great student season” as students get ready for the spring semester in the coming months.

The allure of an education in the USA remains strong as ever with over 4,500 nationally and regionally accredited colleges and universities with worldwide recognition.

What US Has To Offer

Ambassador Atul Keshap, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy in New Delhi spoke about the appeal of the US for Indian students.

The US offers a unique and life-altering experience by means of providing global perspectives and precious career opportunities.

In turn, Indian students help the US by enriching its society through academic success and a deeper friendship between both countries.

Pandemic Problems

The pandemic posed several logistical challenges for the consular teams.

Student interviews typically start from May for those applying for the fall semester.

However, the second wave of the contagion halted the student visa season by 2 months.

Maximum Effort Helps Surpass Workload

The process resumed from July as the situation settled down and the consular teams began to not only match but surpass their pre-Covid workload.

They achieved this by adding additional hours for visa appointments.

They also put in extra effort to ensure the timely arrival for academic programs for as many students as possible.
