NON-IMMIGRANT VISA BACK-LOG REDUCTION PROGRAM Body
In February 2009, the U.S. Interests Section (USINT) began a program to reduce the waiting time for a non-immigrant visa interview. As a result of demand for non-immigrant visas in Cuba and the limitations on the number of personnel that can be assigned to USINT, the waiting time can exceed two years.
Under this new program, USINT's Visa Appointment Call Center contacts persons who have made appointments for family members in Cuba for January 2010 and after and offers them a new, expedited appointment. As appointments are advanced, vacated appointments become available for new callers.
All applicants who obtain expedited appointments through this program must bring the confirmation page of DS-160 the day of the appointment along with completed form DS-157, valid passport, (1) recent passport style photograph, and a nonrefundable fee of $130 convertible pesos.
The U.S. Interests Section will implement this program progressively, based upon the date of the existing interview, with the goal of advancing as many appointments as possible, as resources permit.
In order to be eligible for this program, applicants must first obtain a normal appointment through the Call Center.
Our Visa Information and Appointment Scheduling Service is currently expediting interview appointments for applicants scheduled between January 1, 2010 and July 31, 2012 and have been waiting for their interview appointment for approximately a year or more.
