The U.S. Embassy issued the following news release:
Effective immediately, the U.S. Embassy no longer requires
visa interviews for residents of Armenia who are applying for a
non-immigrant visa and are under the age of 10, over the age of 79,
or certain applicants* who are renewing their visas.
With the implementation of the Interview Waiver Program, Embassy
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.

online, applicants should visit https://usvisa-info.com/. After
navigating to the Armenia page, applicants should click "Personal
Appearance Waiver" or "Visa Renewal" for all the details.
