US reduces visa fee by 30 per cent for Indians

New Delhi, Nov 09: With effect from today, the United States has reduced the visa fee for Indian nationals by 30 per cent from 150 Dollars to 100 Dollars.

Announcing this at a press conference here, US Ambassador to India, David Mulford, also said there was now no backlog of Indian visa seekers to the US.

''The structure of visa fees has been changed between the two countries. Also there is no backlog,'' he said.

The Ambassador said an Indian could now get visa to the US within a week.

This had been done in view of the big demand for US visas among Indians, he added.
