The USA Mission to India has further said that it will continue to prioritize H&L workers for visa appointments
It will be good news for many Indians looking to enter the US through work visas. The US Mission has released over 1 lakh appointments for H&L workers and their families. Unlike people from other countries, Indians mostly enter the US through work-based visas and there is a huge demand for them at any given point in time.
Thousands of applications have already been booked and wait time for both interview waiver and first-time appointments have been slashed by half. The USA Mission to India has further said that it will continue to prioritize H&L workers for visa appointments.
The new rule applies to travelers applying for F, H-1, H-3, H-4, non-blanket L, M, O, P, Q, and academic J visas
Normally, H visas are preferred and are given to skilled foreign workers seeking employment with foreign companies. L visas allow foreign companies to transfer a manager, executive, or person with specialized knowledge to the US.
The US Embassy in New Delhi and consulates in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, and Mumbai have resumed processing in-person B1/ B2 visa appointments starting in September. The new rule applies to travelers applying for F, H-1, H-3, H-4, non-blanket L, M, O, P, Q, and academic J visas.
