The child must independently meet each requirement. The number of applicants accepted for the Interview Waiver Program may initially be limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQualified applicants seeking to utilize this no-interview program must set an appointment for document review online at ustraveldocs.com\/ng. On the date and time of the appointment, the applicant must drop off all necessary documents at the address specified in their appointment letter: DS-160 confirmation page, Valid passport and previous passports containing the most recent visa to the present, I-20 and I-901 SEVIS receipt, DS-2019 (if applicable), New passport photo, Copy of parent\u2019s visa (if minor).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApplicants will not have access to their passport until processing is completed. Processing times may vary, but are expected to be up to two months. In cases where an interview is deemed necessary, the embassy will return the passport and notify the applicant to set an appointment to appear in person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApplication fees will remain the same and can be found at travel.state.gov. ($160 USD for non-petition-based non-immigrant visas, and $190 USD for petition-based non-immigrant visa categories.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The United States further said third parties unaffiliated with its embassy in Abuja may seek to take advantage of various visa services to target visa applicants with fraudulent offers or claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember to rely on information only from genuine sources: travel.state.gov, ng.usembassy.gov\/visas\/, and ustraveldocs.com\/ng. Applicants should fill out their own forms and make appointments themselves using official websites,\u201d the Embassy of the United States concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States has commenced interview waiver programme for certain visa renewals in the country.
