Is this possible??

My tourist visa to US expired already, is it possible for me to apply for a tourist visa once again since there's no clear schedule on when I will receive an interview date?

So I'm hoping to get a tourist visa so I can still visit my parents while waiting for my interview.

 

Thanks!

Regards,

Brian

There is no legal reason you can not apply

 

May not be very practical.

I understand yes not very practical, but I used to visit them every 2-3 years or so when I still have my visa, now it took longer specially when pandemic came.

Reading the other thread about f2b/f1b interview dates and we're looking at another year or so for me to receive mine, hence the thought of renewing my tourist visa.

See if you qualify for a tourist visa interview waiver: https://ph.usembassy.gov/visa-update-expansion-of-interview-waiver-eligibility-for-certain-non-immigrant-visa-niv-applicants-122821/#:~:text=The U.S. Embassy in the,months of that visa's expiration.

 

If you meet the requirements, you can get your tourist visa renewed through dropbox. I think @seekingthetruth 's wife did the same thing while her spousal visa process is still ongoing.

I hope that works for them.  I've seen people who are getting scheduled for tourist interviews in late 2023 and early 2024 now.

Yes, sounds like you were a frequent traveler on the expired visa so if it expired less that 48 months ago and it was a 10 year visa, I think you have a good shot at interview waiver renewal.
