U.S. law also designates limited exceptions under which the visa interview may be waived, such as for diplomats and officials traveling on official government business. “However, under U.S. law, when a diplomat or official applies for a new visa for personal travel, that applicant must appear in person for an interview. “As a general policy, only visa applicants are allowed in the waiting room. Our communication to the Government of Ghana was meant to clarify this policy. We will continue to work with the government to facilitate legitimate personal and official travel.”
