New Delhi: According to the US Trade Department National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO), the number of Indians traveling to the USA witnessed the decline. This decrease is a break in a long -term model that has been seen since 2000. In recent years, in June, the number of Indian visitors to the United States grew compared to the previous year, except for Covid Pandememi.

However, in June 2025, this trend reversed. NTTO data shows that 210,000 Indians visited the United States in June 2025. This figure is 8 percent lower than the 2,30,000 Indian traveling in June 2024.

An interviewed by Times of India, a travel agent drew attention to difficulties for Indian visitors. This year, student travelers said it was a visible effect. Visa delays affect even those who are accepted to US colleges.
