Скачать или смотреть Visa Interview Changes in 2025: How They Impact H-1B, O-1, F-1, J-1, E-2, TN Applicants

Recent changes at the U.S. Department of State have ended the interview waiver program and eliminated third-country visa interviews, reshaping how nonimmigrant applicants must approach consular processing. If you’re pursuing an H-1B, O-1, F-1, E-2, or another nonimmigrant visa, consular interviews are once again the make-or-break step.

Manifest’s Principal Immigration Attorney, Nicole Gunara, and Düden Freeman, a former U.S. Diplomat and founder of Idelirë Consulting (Visas 101), unpack what these policy shifts mean in practice. With experience adjudicating tens of thousands of visas, Düden brings rare, first-hand insight into what happens at the interview window—the risks, the opportunities, and the decisions that truly matter.

In this session, you’ll learn:

What the end of interview waivers means for every applicant in 2025
How the elimination of third-country interviews changes your planning strategy
Practical preparation tactics for E-2 entrepreneurs, H-1B professionals, F-1 students, and O-1 talent
