US Embassy expands interview waiver on nonimmigrant visas

The United States Embassy in Nairobi recently announced the addition of four visa categories that may be eligible for renewal without an interview.

As part of Ambassador Margaret Whitman’s pledge to reduce the nonimmigrant visa interview appointment backlog, the embassy has expanded the Interview Waiver programme for nonimmigrant visas to accommodate those applying for renewal of student visas under categories J and M, and cabin crew visas for airline staff under C1 and D.
