Senators Ask USDOS To Speed Up Student Visa Processing

On August 6, 2021, a group of U.S. Senators, led by Senator Alex Padilla of California, sent a letter to Secretary Anthony Blinken at the U.S. Department of State to expand resources to the U.S. Embassies/Consulates to increase capacity to speed up the processing of student visas so students can arrive in time for the Fall semester.

The group of senators who signed on to the letter included both members of the Massachusetts delegation — Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Edward Markey.
