US B1/B2 visa renewal guide for Uzbekistan: Requirements and how to apply

Renewing a US B1/B2 visa in Uzbekistan allows eligible travelers to extend their ability to visit the United States for tourism (B2) or business (B1). If your previous visa is still valid or expired recently, you may be able to renew it with fewer steps than a first-time application.

What are the eligibility requirements to renew a US B1/B2 visa in Uzbekistan?

To renew a US B1/B2 visa while in Uzbekistan, you’ll usually need to meet these conditions:

• Your previous visa is not lost or stolen
• You are applying for the same visa category (B1/B2)
• Your previous visa is still valid or expired within the allowed renewal window
• You have no visa refusals since your last US visa was issued
• You are physically present in Uzbekistan during the renewal process

Pro tip from Jan Koelle, iVisa expert:

"Having strong ties to Uzbekistan (such as stable employment, family commitments, or property ownership) can help support your renewal application."

Can you renew a US B1/B2 visa in Uzbekistan without an interview?

In some cases, you may qualify for an interview waiver, meaning you can renew without attending a US embassy interview.

• Your visa expired within the eligible renewal timeframe
• You have no recent visa refusals

Because interview waiver rules can change and depend on your personal profile, always follow the instructions shown when you apply.
