The US announced a number of measures to reduce the visa wait time.
New Delhi – The US Embassy in India announced today that visa applicants will be able to apply for appointments in other countries. This is an attempt to reduce the backlog. At some Indian centres, the waiting time for a US Visa can be as long as 800 days.
