New Delhi: Indian students dreaming of pursuing higher education in the United States are facing further shocks. Visa interview appointment slots for the US are suddenly disappearing online, causing concern. For the past 20–25 days, it has become extremely difficult to find visa appointment slots.

Thousands of students from India are preparing to go to the US. Meanwhile, the deadline for admissions to educational institutions in the US is fast approaching. If the visas are not obtained within the specified time, it will affect the admission process. To get a US visa, students need to attend an interview at the US embassies or consulates in India. They have to book the slot in advance by making a payment online.

All slots for April have already been booked, and students are saying that slots for May and June are not available. They are confused as they cannot see the slots online. The reason for this is unknown, causing uncertainty. Hundreds of people are trying daily to secure visa interview slots, but they are facing disappointment. Experts suggest that the US embassy is upgrading its visa slot system, which might be the reason for the issue. They are taking strict measures to prevent misuse and unauthorized access. ​​
