U.S. Consulates Work to Make U.S. Visa Process Simple for Indians

Visa procedures are expected to become easier with the U.S. consulates working to attract more visitors from India.
According to U.S. estimates, by the year 2015 the number of Indians visiting the United States would exceed 1 million. As a result, the U.S. consulates are working overtime to simplify the procedure of procuring a U.S. visa in India.
"This is not just because of America's welcoming atmosphere and outstanding sights. It is also because Indians and Americans are finding more in common. Our personal and cultural ties are increasing dramatically and trade between our two countries is following the same trajectory," an official statement issued by the American embassy said.
The statement also quoted Nancy J. Powell, U.S. Ambassador, "Travel and tourism to the U.S. is an important way for us to expand our cultural and commercial ties and increase trade growth between our countries. But the most important aspect of travel and tourism is not the dollar figures, but the person-to-person relationships that are cultivated".
In the year 2011, there was a rise in the number of Indians who visited America and it came up to 660,000.
"In order to help more Indians who are eligible to visit the United States, our Consular office continues to improve its services," the statement said.
Applicants from India now have options for their application process, including paying and making visa interview appointments online, an interview waiver program for select visa applicants, offsite biometric collection, and a website for checking visa application status.
