U.S. Mission in India "Expands" Interview Waiver Program for Indian Nationals
American Consulates expands
the initial interview waiver program which was initiated in India
in March 2012 to the following cases:
Children applying before
their 14th birthday traveling on any visa class
Students returning to attend
the same school and same program
H-1B worker visas
L-1A or Individual L-1B worker
visas
The renewal application must
be within the same classification as the previous visa.
If the previous visa is annotated with the words “clearance
received,” that applicant is not eligible for a waiver of
a personal interview.
Not all applications will
be accepted for streamlined processing. As always, consular officers
may interview any visa applicant in any category. Applicants
who are renewing their visas may still need to make an appointment
for biometrics (fingerprint and photograph) collection, and all
applicants must submit all required fees and the DS-160 application
form. For additional details, please click
