F1 Visa

India on Thursday said it has conveyed its concerns to the United States regarding the new rule on F1 visa and urged Washington to keep in mind the role educational exchanges have played in the developing relationship between the two countries.

The Trump administration's decision on barring foreign students from attending online-only classes "will encourage schools to reopen" while maintaining "protections for fraud" that are necessary in international visa programmes, a Homeland Security official has said.

The United States said Monday it would not allow foreign students to remain in the country if all of their classes are moved online in the fall because of the coronavirus crisis.

Officials of FIA and pit crew agree that getting Indian visas this year has been easier than last year but say it can be made 'still a lot easier.'

Some reforms include providing work authorisation for spouses of certain H-1B visa holders.
