Hogeman, during his interaction, said that the bedrock of the US - India relation is people-to-people relationships which form the base for a student visa and higher education plays a vital role in the relationship between India and US. The student visa interview process may take place for 30 minutes and usually, students are asked about the course chosen, financial plan, and the reason for choosing the US for higher education. The team has also warned the students not to trust fraudulent agents as no one can guarantee a visa. However, if a student is denied visa they should introspect and learn from the experience.
