201Feb 13 The new US visa policy was formally implemented. If seven kinds of visas to the United States, including travel, expire less than four years, their holders can apply for similar visas to the United States again without having to interview again. The new US visa policy is expected to further stimulate China citizens to travel to the United States.

From March 20 13 16, the new US visa application procedure will be activated. New visas to the United States can be booked online for interviews. The new system will make it easier for applicants to arrange visa interviews, pay visa fees and check visa issuance. The new main provisions are as follows:

1. Send about 50 additional consular officers, increasing the number of consular officers in China by 50%;

2. In the place where another visa is tried out in Beijing, increase the interview ability for Beijing by 50%, reaching 6,543,800+0.5 million visas;

3. From February 13, 2065438, some eligible non-immigrant visa applicants are allowed to be exempted from the interview if their previous visas are renewed within 48 months (4 years) and the visa type is the same as last time. In China, holders of B (temporary business and tourist visitors), C 1 (transit), D (crew), F (students), J (exchange visits), M (non-academic students) and O (special talents) can renew their visas according to this plan if they meet the requirements.

4. Some applicants will be asked to come for an interview because of safety and visa standards;

5. This new policy can open up as many as 65438+ 10,000 interview places for first-time visa applicants within one year;

6. The policy of applying for a US visa for the first time has not changed.

7. From March 14, the embassy will adopt a new payment method for visa fees, and the receipts for visa fees purchased before this will be invalid.

After the launch of the new program, applicants will be able to use the new online system to make an appointment for a visa interview in the United States and check their application status. At the same time, the service of the original telephone reservation center will remain, but the new call center will be announced in the middle of next month. Booking an interview online will shorten the average waiting time of applicants to 2 to 4 days, and applicants usually get their passports with visa pages 1 to 2 working days after interviewing visa officers. In the existing application process, China citizens need to pay three fees when applying for a non-immigrant visa in the United States, namely, an appointment fee (36 yuan -54 yuan RMB), a visa processing fee (160 USD) and a passport mailing fee (32 yuan RMB). In the new application procedure, the applicant's booking fee and passport mailing fee will be cancelled, and China applicants only need to pay the visa processing fee of US$ 65,438+US$ 060.

Remarks: Children under the age of 14 don't need to be interviewed (but if the children have reached the age of 14 within the planned time to go to the United States, they need to be interviewed at the consulate, otherwise they may be refused entry at the US Customs because they don't have their fingerprints).
