Visa Guidance

USA Non Immigrant Visa Guidance

Whether you're planning to reunite with family and friends in the U.S., attend a business event, seek medical treatment, or explore iconic tourist destinations, you’ll need the appropriate temporary non-immigrant visa, allowing stays of up to six months.

Applying for a USA tourist visa from Dubai can be time-consuming and detailed, including completing the DS-160 form, compiling supporting documents, and scheduling interviews at the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate in Dubai.

ESTA

Many nationals from participating countries can apply for ESTA for up to 90 days visa-free. UAE nationals and residents are not eligible, so a B category visa is necessary. Proper preparation can make your American dream vacation a reality.

Interview Waiver Program

Renewing a U.S. visa without an interview is possible under the U.S. Visa Interview Waiver Program, but it depends on specific eligibility criteria set by the U.S. Authority.

You are eligible for U.S. visa renewal without interview if:

  • You are applying for a visa in the same category as your previous one
  • Your previous visa is still valid or expired within the last 24 months
  • You were not refused for a visa within last 12 months
  • You were over 14 years of age when your last U.S. visa was issued

Note: Eligibility for the interview waiver does not guarantee visa approval. The embassy reserves the right to request an in-person interview at any time.

Step-by-Step Process for U.S. Visa Renewal Without Interview

  1. Complete the DS-160 Form
  2. Create Your Profile for document submission. If you qualify for the waiver, the system will prompt you to submit documents without scheduling an interview.
  3. Submit Your Documents at drop-off location
  4. Wait for documents assessment. The embassy will review your application and decide if an interview is still required. If no interview is needed, your passport will be returned with the renewed visa within 10–15 working days.
