The US Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia
With the implementation of the Interview Waiver Program, the American Embassy in 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.
