Some consular processing applicants might be exempted from attending an interview if they meet certain conditions. This simplified procedure is applicable to those applying for specific nonimmigrant visa categories or seeking visa renewals within the same nonimmigrant category. You might be eligible for an interview exemption if you are applying for an H-2A or H-2B visa (for temporary agricultural and non-agricultural workers) for the first time, or if you are applying for other nonimmigrant visa categories and have previously held a nonimmigrant visa in any category, except for a B visa.
