The Covid outbreak impacted many things around us and resulting in pausing the issuance of visas to US aspirants is one of them. As things become normal, the visas are being issued. With the applications piling up, the waiting period for the visas also increased exponentially. Seeing this, the United States is giving its best in addressing the demand for visas.
Opening a new United States Consulate in Hyderabad is one such effort. The new campus is equipped with all the facilities and a bigger employee force. The Nanakramguda campus is the biggest in South Asia which is spread over 12 acres of land.
US Consul General Hyderabad Jennifer Larson held a press meet from the consulate and gave an insight into the planning and aims of the Consulate. She said that the aim is to process over one million visas this year. Jennifer Larson said that preference would be given to students who want to go to America for higher studies.
On the occasion, the US Consul General Hyderabad said that Indians make up a big percentage of people who go to America for education and working purposes. People moving from the Telugu states to America is increasing regularly. Indians are 65 percent of the people who moved to America from the world nations in 2022. Around 70.5 percent of Indian students are going to America for studies, she said.
