‘US companies keen to collaborate on infra projects’

September 29, 2014

Noting that US companies have plenty to offer for India, USA’s minister counsellor for commercial affairs, John McCaslin, said that a core group of 30 US companies have expertise in IT-enabled services and data analytics, which are crucial elements for developing smart cities.

Participating in a session on ‘Doing business with USA’ organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in the city on Thursday, McCaslin said that

USA wants to work with any state government that is keen on taking up infrastructure projects.

Meanwhile, USA consular chief-visas, Sutton Meagher said that getting visas is easier than most people think, especially when it comes to B1/B2 visas for travel to USA. She said that visa applicants can get their visas in less than a week following interviews by the concerned authorities.

While noting that an online application makes life easy for applicants, she urged people attending interviews for the visa to be honest. She said that even translators are available during the visa interview process if applicants have difficulty in communicating in English.
