    U.S. EMBASSY ANNOUNCES INTERVIEW WAIVER PROGRAM FOR SOME ARMENIANS

    : YEREVAN, Armenia

    The U.S. Embassy issued the following news release:

    Effective immediately, the U.S. Embassy no longer requires
    visa interviews for residents of Armenia who are applying for a
    non-immigrant visa and are under the age of 10, over the age of 79,
    or certain applicants* who are renewing their visas.

    With the implementation of the Interview Waiver Program, Embassy
    Yerevan seeks to make the visa application process quick and simple
    for elderly applicants, families traveling with young children,
    and frequent travelers.

    In announcing the program, Consul George Lynn said, "The Interview
    Waiver Program will result in increased cultural, educational, and
    commercial interaction between Armenia and the United States, further
    strengthening the bonds between our nations. This program facilitates
    legitimate travel to the United States while maintaining the integrity
    of the visa application process and national security safeguards."

    Consular officers still have the discretion to require an interview
    from any applicant, even if they qualify for an interview waiver. In
    addition, a small number of qualified Interview Waiver Program
    applicants will be randomly selected for interviews.

    To read more about Interview Waiver Program requirements and apply
    online, applicants should visit https://usvisa-info.com/. After
    navigating to the Armenia page, applicants should click "Personal
    Appearance Waiver" or "Visa Renewal" for all the details.
