📌 Visa Alert: Interview Now Required for H 1B & H 4
Heads up, H 1B & H 4 visa holders! According to the U.S. Department of State’s Interview Waiver Update issued July 25, 2025, starting September 2, 2025, all H 1B and H 4 nonimmigrant visa applicants must attend an in person interview.

TIP :
If you’re facing long wait times at your home consulate, you may explore visa appointments in other countries as a Third Country National (TCN) — like Canada, Mexico or other U.S. consulates abroad that allow TCN processing.
🛂 Availability and policies vary with TCN processing — so do your homework before scheduling but processing as a TCN might be an option for some in other consulates.

What does this mean for you?
• ✅ If you hold or had an H 1B or H 4 visa, you cannot use dropbox for renewal or stamping after September 2.
• ❌ Interview waiver is not available for H 1B, H 4, L 1, F/J or other work/student visas.
• 📅 You must schedule both your biometric (OFC) appointment and the in person consular interview.
• For interviews that are already scheduled after September 2, 2025, there is a good chance that the consulate will cancel the dropbox appointment and ask you to schedule an interview appointment.
• Budget extra time: wait times for interviews may increase significantly.
