US to start student visa application process

The US will begin processing student visa applications for the Fall Session with the first batch of appointments available from mid-May.
The US consulates processed nearly 1.25 lakh visa applications of students in India last year.

The country intends to increase visa interview appointments for Indian students by 30 per cent this summer.

In a much needed breather for students, the State Department announced in February that the ‘F’ and ‘M’ categories of student visas can now be issued up to a year in advance.

Previously, international students could apply only 120 days before the start of their study program.The development comes with the State Department announcing a hike in the fees of student visas.
