1. Is there a new program to get an expedited visitor visa interview?

Yes. The Nonimmigrant Visa Expedited Appointment Pilot Program was just announced on July 22, 2026. The Pilot program will be tested at select U.S. embassies and consulates through December 31, 2026. Under the program those eligible for a B visa (Visitor Visa), may pay a $750.00 per appointment fee to schedule a visa interview within 10 business days (subject to availability). This fee is in addition to the normal $185.00 MRV fee required when scheduling an appointment. The expedited appointment fee is not refundable.
