There is no change in the US' visa policy with respect to the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, the Obama administration said today and noted that it looks forward to working with India, irrespective of the outcome of next year's general elections.

"I would just note that there has been no change in US rules or regulations, with respect to its visa policy. That is that all individuals apply and have to undergo a review process," Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Nisha Desai Biswal, said at a news conference.

"So the point at which there is an application, there will be a review process, and I can't speak to what the outcome of that process would be."

"So as far as I'm concerned, there's no news there," Biswal said when asked about the US visa policy with regard to Modi, the Gujarat chief minister.
"There's no change in policy there. It is as it has always been, which is that visa applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis," she said.
