As indicated by the US law, differing qualities laws are just permitted to districts that have low rates of settlers, said Karachi's US Consulate Spokesperson Brian Asmus, amid a media voyage through the office's visa area on Friday. Pakistan had 104,000 migrants somewhere around 2005 and 2014, he said, clarifying why Pakistanis are no more qualified.

The state office has just ceased assorted qualities visas and there are a considerable measure of different alternatives, for example, petitions, understudy, visit and trade program visas, which go under the non-migrant class.

The US Consulate in Karachi just arrangements in non-worker visas while foreigners visas are managed at the government office in Islamabad. A year ago, the office issued an aggregate of 72,000 visas the nation over thus far in 2016, the US department in Karachi has issued a sum of 14,400 visas.

For US Consul-General Brian Heath, the best part about their work is the bond between the Pakistani and American staff — there are around seven Americans and nine Pakistani's working in the visa segment. The best thing about the visa segment is that there is no need given to anybody, whether he/she is a legislator or an on-screen character, he included. "It is simple and easy to get the US visa when contrasted with the procedure for different nations," he called attention to.
