Visa Applicants Planning to Engage in Technology-Related Business or Study While in the United States:
The visa applications of applicants involved in technical or scientific fields may require administrative processing of approximately two to three weeks. Applicants who believe they may be affected by this requirement should apply as early as possible. Students planning studies in technical or scientific fields may need to ask TTS for an earlier appointment. When doing so, applicants should make it clear that they believe there may be a need for additional processing which necessitates an appointment at least three to four weeks before the date they are due to report to their school or research facility.

American Embassy New Delhi - Business Executive Program (BEP)
The Business Executive Program (BEP) is designed to facilitate business travel in support of U.S. commerce abroad. The BEP enrolls major companies and permits their employees to obtain expedited processing on the day of the interview. All other visa-processing requirements remain the same. Companies must meet strictly established criteria in order to be enrolled, and must adhere to firm standards to stay in the program. Site visits are often critical to determining a company's eligibility. A key aspect of the BEP program is to ensure that visa applications by legitimate foreign business travelers, especially those involved in trade, negotiations and other dealings with U.S. companies, receive full and timely attention.
