Confirmation

Congratulations! You qualify for the Interview Waiver. You will need to schedule an appointment to visit a document drop-off location to submit your documents, but you do not need to schedule a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate.

Click “Drop-Off” to proceed with your Interview Waiver application.

If you believe your travel is urgent and the first available date to schedule a document drop-off appointment is beyond your desired travel date, you will need a regular in-person visa interview appointment.  You can schedule a regular in-person Interview appointment at the Embassy or a Consulate by first scheduling your biometric appointment at an OFC and then an Embassy/Consulate appointment to be able to request an emergency appointment. 

To verify if you qualify for an emergency appointment, click “Interview” to check the qualification criteria and proceed.  Drop-Off  Interview
