US consulate to take interviews in Urdu

Hyderabad, July 30 (Siasat News): The US consulate in Hyderabad would take the interviews of the visa seekers in their own language including Urdu on August 11.

This facility is to be provided for those who are not well versed in English. US consul general Cornelius M Keur said in his press note that the consulate feels that various visa applicants don’t know English language properly.

They speak Urdu, Telugu and Hindi. According to the consulate, to avoid any delay in granting the visa seekers an interview, the consulate has hired the services of two Telugu and one Urdu translators.

Mr. Keur further said that from August 1, 500 visa applicants would be interviewed which include business, work, students and tourist visas.

He suggested the applicants to submit their applications much before the actual date of their journey because an application submitted just a few days before the actual journey, could deprive them of their visas.

Applicants are advised to reach for their interviews before the scheduled time and do not bring any thing except the required documents for the visa.
