Hi All.

Here's good info. IWP is discretionary:

WP is Discretionary:

The fact that an individual meets the basic requirements for the IWP does not guarantee that the visa will be renewed without an interview. Additionally, it may be necessary to undergo a biometric appointment for fingerprinting and photographing. The IWP waives only the visa interview; it does not waive the requirement to obtain a visa if needed for travel to the United States. Applicants must still submit the appropriate visa application and filing fee. More details are available on the U.S. Embassy, New Delhi, India WebSite.
