The US Embassy New Delhi has announced that under a new initiative, in select circumstances, qualified visitorsmay be eligible to renew US visas without an interview.
The Interview Waiver Pilot Program allows consular officers to waive visa interviews for certain applicants worldwide. Qualified applicants must be renewing a B-1 visa or B-2 visa within 48 months of the previous visa’s expiration. The waiver only applies to visas within the same classification. The US Embassy New Delhi and US Consulates throughout India will implement the Interview Waiver Pilot Program immediately.
The Interview Waiver Pilot Program does not entitle any US visa applicant to a waiver of personal appearance. US consular officers will retain the authority to interview any US visa applicant they determine requires a personal appearance.
