DOS has also extended the validity of Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fees to September 30, 2022, to allow all applicants who were unable to schedule a visa appointment due to the suspension of routine consular operations an opportunity to schedule and/or attend a visa appointment with the fee they already paid.
DOS announced that it has extended its policy to expand interview waiver eligibility for individuals applying for a nonimmigrant visa in the same classification until March 31, 2021. Applicants whose nonimmigrant visas expired within 24 months are eligible.
