“So far, the US embassy and consulates are giving dates only for renewals of visitor visas.
And like Mishra, there are hundreds of Indians – including parents who want to visit their children studying in US universities, families who want to visit their kin and executives who want to travel for business meetings and conferences – who have been hit by the long delays in getting US visitor visas since the pandemic. His business is being badly hit and he needs to travel on an urgent basis but with the US embassy and consulates in India unable to give dates for visa interviews or dropbox appointments for the next couple of months, there’s nothing that he can do but wait.
However, Mishra’s US B1-B2 visitor visa expired in August 2021 and though he is eligible for a visa interview waiver he has received a ‘dropbox’ appointment to submit the documents required for the renewal only in November 2022 there are no dates available earlier. Mishra needs to visit the US branch so that he can hire another person for the job and the handover of responsibilities has to be carried out in his presence. The manager of the US branch, an American citizen, now wants to retire. The company has a subsidiary in New Jersey in America which was set up eight years back. Amit Mishra (name changed) is the CEO of his family business in Delhi.
