Applying for a Visa Waiver

Purpose

If there is a reason for disqualification from obtaining a visa, such as criminal records or false information, a visa waiver application can be submitted based on the consular officer’s recommendation.

Process

① After a visa interview, the consular officer decides whether to allow a visa applicant to apply for a visa waiver.
② The applicant submits a visa waiver application to the U.S. Embassy.
③ The U.S. Embassy and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP Admissibility Review Office) review the visa waiver application for approval.
④ If the waiver request is approved, a visa is issued.
