Your next vacation to the U.S. is not six months away, if that's what you were thinking based on getting a date for the visa interview.
There's good news for people looking to travel to the U.S. on business or leisure. No longer would you have to wait from two to six months to get an appointment for a Visa interview. Now you can schedule an appointment for a Non-immigrant visa to the U.S. at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulates within a week. There's also a 30% cut in the cost of getting a Visa, as the U.S. Government has cut $50 (approx. Rs. 2233/-) reciprocal issuance fee for all non-immigrant visas for Indian citizens with immediate effect, as per information provided by the U.S. Consulate in India.
This reduction in visa fees is a welcome move that would encourage leisure travel from India to the U.S. and travel operators may think of including new destinations in their package tours to America.
So if you're in a mood to vacation in America, log on to www.vfs-usa.co.in, schedule an appointment for a U.S. visa, find round-trip airfares from India to America on Mobissimo India, pick and choose your budget, book tickets, and enjoy your vacation.
