According to recent reports, the United States is planning to introduce a premium visa interview appointment service at select embassies and consulates, allowing applicants to secure an expedited interview slot for an additional fee of USD 750 (approximately ₹71,500).
The proposed service is expected to help reduce wait times for certain visa applicants, particularly in locations where appointment backlogs remain significant.
Key Highlights:
- Expedited visa interview appointments at selected US embassies and consulates.
- Additional fee of USD 750 over and above standard visa application charges.
- Intended to provide faster access to interview slots.
- Availability and eligibility may vary by location and visa category.
This development comes as the US continues to adjust its immigration and visa processing policies, with a focus on managing demand and addressing appointment backlogs.
