Tourist Visa , Interview waiver .

[Studentism]

Hello, me and my parents have a valid Tourist Visa , (10 year multiple entry , obtained in 2012) for the USA. We just wanted to know if an IN-PERSON interview waiver might be available in India , right now in order to obtain a Visa extension. All our Visas are still valid and have not expired their validity. Has anyone availed of the Interview waiver facility? Thanks

I have the same question. My parents already have an active B1/B2 visa. Looks like they don't need an interview. Would it be an automatic renewal once they apply?

nothing is automatic....a CO can decide to call someone in even if they might otherwise qualify for some drop box procedure.

Answer: There is no auto renewal visa option available.. If you want to extend your visa, need to follow DS 160 filing, visa fees paying then Interview schedule for either Interview or Drop off the documents under Interview waiver program.

Hi,
Which country you belongs too?
As per my knowledge, most of the US consulates are resuming their regular process. Very especially, In India, regular visa appointments are resumed.
Just start processing of DS 160 and scheduling appointments.
Thanks
