The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has received several representations from Indian students and their families, flagging difficulty in obtaining U.S. student visa appointments after American authorities announced an expanded screening and vetting for visa applicants, the government said on Thursday (July 24, 2025).
In a written response to a query in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh also said the MEA took up the matter with the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi as well as the U.S. Department of State.
