Maybe he has children there or he is going to attend a conference or on a fellowship or as guest faculty. Becos of the stricter visa conditions - many Scientific conferences in US are now taking just across the border -in Tijuana , Mexico - near Los Angeles on the West coast. It is easier to get into Mexico.
 
Maybe some can seek services of the corss border traffickers of illegals - to come to US - if they really feel like it:)

That's elementary-My Dear Watson!
What is not elementary is-What does he go to US - Dozens of times- for?
And what does he try to teach USA? Hindu Chemistry?
And what he comes back and teaches MMS--isn't he billed as top technical adviser to Delhi?

Mukul-da,
  
 
  
Unless you are trying for a non-techical visa to come to USA - your application would take longer to clear. Esp if your field of study happens to be related to security issues - such as defense systems or nuclear technology -- then your visa application would be sent out of India - to USA and would have to cleared by higher , spceialist authorities. Thats the standard procedure. My visa application was cleared in a month only --since school education is a harmless subject - but had I been a sciecne student in say nano technology - my application might have taken about 6 months to clear - if it all.

<<<Mehta's case has especially angered Indians because he was a director of the Indian
Institute of Science and is a science adviser to India's prime minister. He has visited the United States "dozens of times," he said, and the University of Florida in Gainesville had invited him to lecture at an international conference.
  
State Department spokesman Justin Higgins denied yesterday that the United States had rejected Mehta's visa and said the consulate had merely followed standard procedure in dealing with applicants with certain kinds of scientific expertise.>>>
  
scientific expertise? What kind?
  
Poor chap was only trying to teach USA  !
