US ends visa interview waivers from Sept 2; Is India spared from toughest restrictions?
Starting September 2, 2025, the US State Department will require in-person interviews for nearly all non-immigrant visa applicants, ending many age-based exemptions and renewal waivers. This change affects students, professionals, and frequent travelers, potentially leading to longer wait times for appointments. Nationals from specific countries face immediate interview requirements, and stricter rescheduling policies will be enforced.
