The United States has said that there is no change in its policy towards issuing visas to Indian students. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters at her daily news conference in Washington yesterday that there is no change in the policy of providing visa to the Indian students and interviewing applicants. 

Nuland said that the US will make sure that the sponsoring organisations based in their country, are genuine and are bringing students over to educate them and not to put them to work.

Last week, Education Ministers of four Indian States - Punjab, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir - had visited several US cities to have a first hand experience of the community colleges in the United states.
