US visa appointments paused globally, creating uncertainty for Indian outbound travel
The United States has temporarily adjusted visa appointment schedules worldwide as consular officers undergo training. The US State Department said appointment schedules would be adjusted to accommodate the programme.
The development is particularly significant for the travel trade because B1 visas cover business travel while B2 visas cover tourism and related visits.
Trade angle: US-bound leisure, MICE and corporate travel planners should build additional processing time into itineraries and advise clients to monitor appointment changes closely.
