The community members voiced their gratitude for the support and guidance received through the group, which has been instrumental in navigating the U.S. visa process.
However, there was notable disappointment over the persistent backlog resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which remains unresolved even after two years.
In response, an urgent appeal was made to the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, the U.S. State Department, and the U.S. Embassy to resume normal operations at the embassy as soon as the local situation allows.
Participants were advised to actively engage with the State Department and Embassy on social media and to communicate regularly with Congressmen and Senators to highlight ongoing issues.
The admin panel also urged applicants to adhere to USCIS guidelines, avoid misinformation and fraud, and manage their visa applications diligently to prevent further delays.
The event included a detailed discussion on Employment-Based Immigration Visas (EB-3) by Mr. Russell Mahbub, Director and Country Manager of GMN.
The programme was co-sponsored by GMN and Hotel Blossom Limited.
