Nice video
Hi, I would like to add that I got a waiver even though I had previous rejections. As per the questionnaire, I understand that it is because I have an active B1 visa and the last application was not rejected and I applied for J1. This may be a good news for some, so thought of sharing
Hi. Do we have to apply normally or specifically through interview waiver process for J1, as I have an active B1/B2 visa? Your response will be helpful.
I currently hold f1 visa valid till 2025 but I had previous rejections. Am I eligible for the dropbox appointment?
Hii mam
Am on f1 visa here
Can I get another visa like a tourist visa?
HI Ma'am, my child is 12 years old and his US visa under B1/B2 category got expired this year in May 2022. Both me and my wife have valid US Visa's (B1/B2 category) until 2027. I have taken an appointment for his visa renewal on 21st Nov 2022. What documents do I need to carry for submission and do I need to take my son along with me? Please advise. URGENT. WILLBE VERY THANKFUL FOR YOUR HELP

Hey apoorva,do you know any update on H1B FY 2023 Second Lottery ?
Hi Apoorva,
Question on Visa Dropbox Eligibility.
My last visa status L1B and it was stamped in Germany(year-2020), last year I moved to H1B, As it was change of status from L1 to H1, I didn't stepout from the country. I was in assumption that I am not eligible for the dropbox, but my appointment has been booked as dropbox only. someone told me recently that, uscis initially is giving dropbox to everyone but they call for in-person interview when there is a change of visa status after ~1 week of dropbox appointment. I tried reaching out to ustraveldocs but their reply was not concrete enough to take any decision. Could you please help me here by sharing your experience/knowledge. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the information, I am eligible for Drop Box, but when i try to book drop appointment i see no appointment available (Mumbai,Delhi,Kolakata,Chennai) and not even able to see those 11 prime location, I am confused why i am not able to book appointment and see those 11 prime location.
Hi I'm trying to apply for my parents visa renewal. My dad's visa has annotations saying clearance received but my mom's doesn't show anything so should I make a profile in her name and say no as an answer to one of their questions which asks for it??
Hi WeDesified, that’s nice video with good information.
Myself Naresh. I have few questions related to Dropbox. Pls answer my questions.
I had previously my L1 visa issued in 2017 and expired in 2020. And it’s the same with my wife as L2.
Q1. My H1B lottery got picked this year. Do we need to go for biometrics as I understand we r eligible for interview waiver ?
Q2. We don’t have children when we got L1/L2 visas. Now we have kid without any Visa. Is he also eligible for Dropbox without any biometrics ?
Q3. I stay in Bangalore. Do we have Dropbox location in Bangalore ?
Thanks in advance
If I have an appointment in Chennai on 20th Dec at 10am, and I stay in Mumbai. Then do I need to drop my package in Mumbai on the same date and time, or can I just walk in at any date and time?
Hi Approva, I am Manoj, currently on J1 visa. I am going to get another J1 visa but this time my wife will also be there (on J2 visa) with me. She doesn't have any previous visa. Now, I will add her with me while securing the visa slots. Are we eligible for visa interview waiver?

If you have your recent visa approved you can get dropbox. A bit wrong in the video. Hope this helps.
Hi, I have been issued by visa in 2013 and it was expired in 2018 as I got only 5 years because I was a minor do I get my interview waived ?
yes @ as long as it is after 2008
and you dont have cleareance revieved on your visa and your visa hasnt been rejected beforre
@@stanfordy9104 so my visa expiry doesn't matter with the interview waiver right ?
Hey my case is the same. I got my B1 visa in 2013 and it got expired in 2018. I wasn't denied any visa , nor do I have any criminal records. I'll be eligible for the waiver right
I have B2 Visa expired with in 48 months and had answered all the questions while making the MRV payment. There was a pop-up intimating the eligibility for interview waiver. I further proceeded and chose an appointment date and got an appointment confirmation. Is this same as the Dropbox appointment date? Or have I got get an alternate date for Dropbox appointment? Does the interview waiver make it possible to get an earlier date than normal? The earliest date was in Nov 23 ?!!
B1 B2 is not eligible for Drop box as of now. But if your Visa is expired with oin 48 hours you are exempted from Embassy interview but the VFS OFC appointment for Photograph and Biometric is must. As of now one who are exempted in india for embassy appointment are getting a Visa interview date for late 2023 and who needs both are getting interview dates as late as 2024.
@@teddythomas8477 I thought the Dropbox includes B1/B2, also, the website said you are eligible for Interview Waiver....
Do you have any updates? Did you need to schedule an appointment ? or were you able to use dropbox? (Did you need an appointment for dropbox as well?)
Were you able to drop your documents or had to visit VFS? I have the same issue.
@@BrnNCrash please i have the same query
