Preparing for the Future
I had terrific meetings in Washington with Secretary Clinton and with the co-chairs of the India Caucus, Senators Mark Warner and John Cornyn. The focus, of course, is the upcoming Strategic Dialogue meeting in mid-July in Delhi between Secretary Clinton and Minister Krishna. We discussed the many opportunities that exist today in trade, security, energy, and education for collaboration between our two countries. As evidence of the interest in all-things India in Washington, 37 Senators from both sides of the aisle are now members of the India Caucus and the co-chairs expect membership to increase. It is great for our bilateral relationship when there is interest and attention from all branches of our government. Under Senator Warner and Cornyn’s leadership, the India Caucus can be another effective bipartisan group to bring prosperity and security to Americans and Indians.

Dear Ambassador,
I appreciate the way both India and US are looking forward and preparing for the future. But there is one process which is Non democratic and against the human rights the US consulate is following. It is called the Administrative Process for Non-Immigrant Visas. This process is carried out without any transperancy and deadline. Most of the Indians who like to visit the US are facing this process without any reason. The experience is really frustating and creating a hatred amongst the People against US. Please take a step in fastening this process and making it transparent so that applicant knows whats really going on.
