US waives in-person interviews for many visa applicants until December 31

The applicants eligible for the waiver are students (F, M, and academic J visas), workers (H-1, H-2, H-3, and individual L visas).

Applicants seeking these visa classifications must have previously been issued any category of US visa, have never been refused a US visa and have no  potential visa ineligibility.
