Requirements to renew your visa without an interview

If you want to apply to renew your last B1 B2 visa without having to go to an interview or appointment, you must meet one of the following requirements:

• Your last US visa cannot have expired more than 24, 36, or 48 months ago (depending on your nationality), or it must still be valid.

• Applicants under 14 or over 79 years of age can also apply for the visa renewal without having to attend an interview.

How long does it take to receive my new US B1 B2 Visa?

Once we send your application 100% government-compliant, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will list the available dates for your interview or drop-off appointment, and we will choose the closest one for you.

Keep in mind that given the high demand for applications, some locations have an interview waitlist of more than 12 months. Therefore, we always recommend applying several months before your intended trip to the United States.
