Visas travel to meet their loved ones.
On Saturday, some travel agents in the city not only got a slot to send the Dropbox application for Visa B1 / B2, some even managed to get a visa interview slot in February for fresh applications.
“I have tried to get a Dropbox slot for days.
On Saturday morning, I suddenly got a slot for two senior citizens who had waited to travel to meet their children who lived in the US,” said Jaydeep Mukherjee from Meghdutam Travelels who have thought that the Dropbox slot will open after the pressure of students (J.
/ F visa) and employees (H1B).
Anil Punjabi from AR-ES Travels also managed to get a slot to store Dropbox applications and fresh visa interviews.
“It’s great for senior citizens who have their children settled in the US.
In this pandemic situation when there is uncertainty about the future, many become desperate to get the chance to visit their children.
Fortunately, the slot is now open and they will be travel, “he said.
The source said the slot opened the beginning of the month.
Dropbox B1 / B2 allows individuals who previously traveled to the US or a visa that had expired recently or was on the expiration threshold to submit a fresh visa.
Although Donald L Heflin, the minister’s adviser for the consular affairs tasked with issuing US visas in India, has clarified that individuals whose visas have expired in the past four years can use the Dropbox to submit a visa, Manav Soni from an exclusive trip said it was only available for expiration visas in two years.
Officials at the US Embassy said the US State Department had ratified consular officers to release direct interview requirements for travelers who submitted F, H-1, H-3, H-4, non-blanket L, M, O, P, Q, and academic J visa that previously issued all types of visas.
