Yes, India has officially resumed all Consular, Passport, and Visa (CPV) services across Australia today, July 23, 2026. The restart ends a 23-day operational freeze that began on July 1 due to a legal tender dispute regarding outsourcing contracts. Following interim relief from India's Supreme Court, services are now operational through six upgraded Indian Consular Application Centres (ICACs) managed by VFS Global.

USCIS reached the 85,000 limit for H-1B visas for FY2027, and there will be no second lottery.
The old random lottery was replaced by the new wage-based system that favors higher-paid positions. It reduced applications by 38.5%, totaling only 211,600. People with master’s degrees from the USA received 71.5% of spots, while low-skill jobs got 17.7%. The employment starts on October

Hey everyone,

​I’m an Indian student planning to join a UK university soon for my Master's. I'd love to connect with fellow Indians currently studying there to get some insights.

​Could you share a bit about:

​The academic environment vs India?

​Current job/internship market?

​Accommodation and part-time work tips?

​Please drop a comment or DM me. Would love to connect and chat! Thanks!

The Digital Master Test (dMAT) will become a mandatory part of APS documentation for selected Indian master's applicants from the summer semester 2027.
