The US waives interview requirements for visa applicants
December 17, 2021
Due to the pandemic, the US has been faced with a major backlog in visa issuances due to the pandemic. The US Department of State announced it will temporarily waive the interview requirement for about 50,000 immigrant visa applicants. The waiver will be in effect until December 13, 2022. The interview being waived previously required personal appearance and an in-person oath, commonly known as a consular interview. The waiver is designed to help applicants who are unable to travel due to the pandemic yet must still meet specific time-limited criteria.
