CHENNAI: The US Government has decided to set up a visa office in Hyderabad by this year-end, Mr David Hopper, US Consul General here, said on Friday.

Mr Hopper said the full-fledged visa office would be set up at Hyderabad by the end of 2008. This will help students and others in Andhra Pradesh "to get their visa done in Hyderabad itself instead of traveling to Chennai", he said.

"The Embassy here dealing with the southern states of India receive three lakh applications annually and of this one third is from Andhra Pradesh. In order to ease the process the US Government has decided to set up a full-fledged visa office in Hyderaba d", he added. - PTI
