3900 Indians seeking US student visa interviewed
The US Mission to India has received skyrocketing demand for student visas, as the Indian consular team interviewed 3900 student visa applicants during its 8th annual Student Visa Day on Thursday.
“On June 13, 2024, Consular Team India interviewed 3900 student visa applicants during its 8th annual Student Visa Day. Mission India highlights our strong commitment to higher education in the United States and the growing educational ties between the United States and India by organizing robust programming for Student Visa Day, where Mission members and Education USA colleagues interact with applicants to share information on studying in the United States,” the US Embassy in India said in a press release.
US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti shared his best wishes for all Indian students and said that each of these students are brand ambassador for India and is taking the US-India relationship forward.
“Every international student on a US campus represents tremendous accomplishment – years of study and hard work that went into preparing for academic excellence. Like those who went before, today’s Indian students also represent tremendous potential – the knowledge you will unlock, the new skills and opportunities you will experience, and the relationships you will build are worth the investment. Each student is an ambassador for India. Together we are taking the US-India relationship forward!” Garcetti said.
The Cultural and Educational Affairs Consular in the US Embassy, David Moyer said that Student Visa Day is a great time to celebrate how 2 countries interact together.
