I need help.

My Mum is 77 years old. She got a 2-year US visa that she didn't use because my sister, who was supposed to take her to the US, was very busy. My sister is now ready to travel, but my mum's visa will expire in less than 3 weeks. Can my mum do drop box renewal? Will the visa be issued again?



Best Answer

Can my mum do drop box renewal?

No. Drop box renewals aka Visa Interview Waiver Program have been suspended by Donald Trump through Executive Order 13780

Suspension

Sec. 9. Visa Interview Security. (a) The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with section 222 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1202, which requires that all individuals seeking a nonimmigrant visa undergo an in-person interview, subject to specific statutory exceptions.

Will the visa be issued again?

Nobody knows. She will find out at the interview.

Can I renew my US visa without using it?

The U.S. visa application process is the same whether you are applying for the first time or renewing your visa. However, if you have previously been issued a U.S. visa that you would like to renew, you may not be required to personally appear for an interview.

Can I apply for US visa twice?

After being found ineligible for a visa, you may reapply in the future. If you reapply for a visa after being found ineligible, with the exception of 221(g) refusals, you must submit a new visa application and pay the visa application fee again.

Can you apply for a new visa after it expires?

You do not have to wait until your current visa expires. You can apply for a new visa even if your current visa is valid.

How many times I can apply for US visa?

You can apply as many times as you want. However, before reapplying, analyze the reasons for rejection and work on those. Some people mistakenly believe that there is a monthly or daily quota for visas, and after that, they just reject everyone no matter what. That is simply not the case, and there is no quota.
