This change will allow consular officers to continue processing certain nonimmigrant visa applications while limiting the number of applicants who must appear at a consular section, thereby reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission to other applicants and consular staff. This policy is in effect until December 31, 2021. The Secretary has temporarily extended the expiration period to 48 months. Previously, only those applicants whose nonimmigrant visa expired within 24 months were eligible for an interview waiver. Secretary Blinken, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, has temporarily expanded the ability of consular officers to waive the in-person interview requirement for individuals applying for a nonimmigrant visa in the same classification. We can only advise you to monitor our web site as well as US EmbassyвЂ™s web sites for updates. Also our service desk cannot make any estimations in terms of when interview appointments will become available for various visa types. The approval or denial of the emergency appointment request is at sole discretion of the US Consulates. Please note that our service desk cannot facilitate, approve or deny an emergency appointment request, nor can provide a reason for the denial of the emergency appointment request. Any questions or supporting documents should be sent to the relevant U.S.
