Yvette Bansal is a former U.S. visa officer (U.S. Diplomat). She has served at Embassy New Delhi and Consulate General Mumbai. She adjudicated over forty thousand non-immigrant (NIV) and immigrant visas (IV) and has worked with applicants from every major visa category, including H1B, J1, B1/B2, L1, O1 and others. Additionally, she served as the Deputy Fraud Prevention Manager in Mumbai, which gave her insight into poorly executed fraud schemes that have hurt legitimate applicants’ chances of working and studying in the U.S. In doing this work, she saw many applicants waste hundreds of dollars on poor advice and wrong information.

Before the Department of State, she worked at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a sister agency that processes work and immigrant visas.. During her 11-year tenure at these agencies, she received multiple awards for leadership, work ethic, and teamwork, including the prestigious Presidential Management Fellowship in 2012.

Yvette is a first-generation immigrant. She moved to Chicago, Illinois, at the age of 9. She believes in the positive impact of immigration and tourism, both for the individual and the host country. Yvette believes that offering accurate visa services is important and impactful. That’s what sparked the idea of Udeti, a company that gives clarity to the visa interview process and helps people succeed.
