The U.S. Mission to India on Thursday surpassed its goal to process one million non-immigrant visa applications this year with Ambassador Eric Garcetti personally handing over the one millionth visa to a couple, who will be heading to the United States to attend their son's graduation at MIT.

Dr Ranju Singh, senior consultant, Lady Hardinge College was elated at receiving an email from the U.S. Embassy about hers being the one millionth visa this year. Her husband Puneet Dargan was granted the next visa. The couple will be travelling to the U.S. in May 2024.

Greeting the couple as "Mr and Mrs One million", Ambassador Garcetti enquired about their travel plans to the U.S. and made suggestions about what not to miss in the country as a tourist.
