Its amazing and encouraging news to see that Indian visa processing getting easier. This would benefit several thousands of indians as well as US citizens to get a visa quickly. No waiting in long queues, no tension, lesser anxiety, etc. I think Indians also deserve the same treatement when they apply for a US visa. Sadly thats not the case, simply because these countries make procedures simple only for thier citizens and other developed nations, and make things out of reach for developing nations. Thats one major reason why its easier for a US citizen or any European/UK visa holder to move to other countries. Whereas for an Indian, or any south east asian things are pretty difficult. Ofcourse these countries are afraid that if too many people immigate the locals would lose jobs, because of wage disparity. This is totally against the modern philosophies of globalization. Also to combat this Asian countries like Singapore, malaysia, India, pakistan, china, and others should have a simple visitor pass system for asian citizens so that travelling within asian network becomes easier and convenient. When English countries can simplify their systems for their convenience - we are fools to have so many procedures - instead we should have free mobility like how it happens in Europe - where most people have travelled 4-5 countries and also get entry in to UK and to US and virtually anywhere across the globe.
