Ambassador Atul Keshap, Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy in New Delhi commented, “Studying in the United States is a unique and often life-changing experience for Indian students, granting fresh, global perspectives and frequently leading to invaluable career opportunities. Indian students also enrich U.S. society, achieve high levels of academic success, and deepen the bonds of friendship between our countries. The many hard-working women and men of the U.S. Mission to India are proud to facilitate their travel and study.”
Embassies and Consulates usually begin the interviews for the fall semester students in May, however, due to the second COVID-19 wave, it has been delayed by two months. The interviews began in July as the US Embassy and Consulates opened additional hours for visa appointments “to ensure timely arrival for academic programs for as many students as possible.”
“The diversity of the American higher education system is unparalleled with over 4,500 nationally and regionally accredited colleges and universities in the United States, recognized worldwide for the quality of their programs, faculty, and facilities,” the US Embassy says.
