    Significant Progress In Issuance Of Business Visas In India, Says US

    US said it is increasing the number of staff to further facilitate the process.
    Representational) The US on Tuesday said there has been significant progress in issuance of business visas in India, and America is taking several steps like increasing the number of staff to further facilitate the process here.
    At the business side, "we have also made significant progress by issuing more H1B and L visas in 2022 than we did even in 2019 before the pandemic, that is a significant improvement.
    "We were able to cross $160 billion last year.
    Off-course Covid (pandemic) did interrupt that trajectory... but the trajectory remains the same which is consistently upwards.
    He added that the $500 billion target is obviously still far away from that and that is why "we are working" with the private sector to identify what are the strategic elements that "we can change" to create the environment to not just hit that target but also move well past that in the long term.
