“The US we will open limited July and August student visa appointments across India. Students may visit our website, https://ustraveldocs.com/in, to view availability and schedule an appointment,” the statement said.

Student visas was a top priority for the US, the embassy said.

On April 30, the US suspended most non-immigrant travel from India. Some 2-lakh students from India study in the US.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi while replying to quarries on Indian students facing problems said the government was aware of the challenges faced by students who have not been able to join or return to courses in foreign countries.
