NEW DELHI<\/strong><\/p>\nThe US Mission in India has issued a record-breaking 82,000 student visas in 2022, higher than any other country, comprising nearly 20 per cent of all international students studying in the United States, according to an official statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are happy to see so many students were able to receive visas and reach their universities after the delays caused in previous years by the Covid-19 pandemic. We issued over 82,000 student visas this summer alone, more than in any previous year,\u201d US Charge d\u2019Affaires Patricia Lacina said on September 6.<\/p>\n
The US Embassy in New Delhi and four Consulates in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai prioritized the processing of student visa applications from May to August to ensure that as many qualified students as possible made it to their programs of study in time for scheduled start dates.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis shows that the United States remains for most Indian families the most sought-after country for higher education. It also highlights the important contributions Indian students make to both our countries as they build life-long connections with American peers to maintain and grow international partnerships, working collectively to address current and future global challenges,\u201d Charge d\u2019Affaires said further.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, Indian students comprise nearly 20 per cent of all international students studying in the United States, with the Open Doors report in 2021 showing there were 167,582 students from India in the 2020-2021 academic year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to have done our part to help Indian students pursue a top-notch education. Hopefully, there are a lot of happy students and parents out there. International student mobility is central to US diplomacy, and nowhere is the contribution of students bigger than in India. Here\u2019s wishing this year\u2019s group of students the best of luck in their studies!\u201d Minister Counselor for Consular Affairs Don Heflin has said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
