Expansion of Interview Waiver Eligibility by travel.state.gov

美国大使馆增加签证免面试

摘要:签证在24个月内到期的非移民签证持有人有资格获得面试豁免。该政策的临时扩展有效期至2020年12月31日。

一些国家/地区要求F-1或J-1学生每年更新签证,除非他们在大学四年内不打算回国。现在,由于政策更新,如果您的签证还有两年过期,您可以免除签证面试就可以续签!

内容摘要


面试豁免

在暂时扩大面试豁免资格之前,只有签证在12个月内过期的学生才有资格获得面试豁免。考虑到美国大使馆由于疫情原因积压的申请,国务卿迈克·庞培(Mike Pompeo)暂时将有豁免资格延长至24个月

政策有效期至2020年12月31日。因此,如果您打算在2021年春季前往美国,请确保在年底之前申请续签。

Secretary Pompeo, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, has temporarily expanded the ability of consular officers to waive the in-person interview requirement for individuals applying for a nonimmigrant visa in the same classification.  …

This policy is in effect until December 31, 2020.
