In other news, U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti announced in December 2024 that the U.S. is on track to open a new Consulate in Bengaluru later this month, further strengthening diplomatic ties.
Additionally, starting Jan. 1, the U.S. Embassy in India introduced new rules for scheduling and rescheduling nonimmigrant visa appointments. Applicants are now permitted to reschedule their appointments once without incurring additional charges. However, if the rescheduled appointment is missed or a second reschedule is required, applicants will need to book a new appointment and repay the application fee.
