๐ข Important Visa Update!
Starting September 2, most visa categories will no longer qualify for an interview waiver โ except B1/B2 (business/tourism) and official visas. Additionally, in-person interviews will now be required for nonimmigrant applicants under 14 and over 79 years old.
If your visa category will no longer be eligible for an interview waiver, make sure to mail or drop off your application at our offsite Visa Application Center by August 22. This ensures the U.S. Embassy has enough time to process your application before the new policy takes effect.
