Visa policy unchanged, Modi can apply and wait for review: US
No Change In Our Longstanding Visa Policy. He's Welcome To Apply For A Visa And Await A Review Like Any Other Applicant, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harftold Reporters At Her Daily News Conference.
Asserting that there has been no change in its visa policy on Narendra Modi, the US has said the BJP's prime ministerial candidate is welcome to apply for a visa and wait for a review like any other applicant.
"No change in our longstanding visa policy. He's welcome to apply for a visa and await a review like any other applicant," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harftold reporters at her daily news conference.
"Visa applications are confidential, or at least the details of them. I can check on that, but not to my knowledge," Harf said when specifically asked if Modi has applied for a US visa.
In 2005, Modi was denied a diplomatic visa and his existing tourist and business visa was revoked under the Immigration and Nationality Act, which makes a foreign government official responsible for severe violations of religious freedom ineligible for a travel document.
