U.S. Travel Applauds Visa Waiver Extension

In a significant move, the U.S. Travel Association praises President Biden’s administration for extending visa interview waiver authority, a crucial step to protect the American economy and alleviate pandemic-era visa backlog challenges. The decision prevents potential delays that could have impacted millions of visitors and billions of dollars in spending over the next decade. U.S. Travel emphasizes the importance of reducing visa interview wait times, enhancing global competitiveness, and fostering a more secure travel experience.

The Association commends the collaborative efforts of the Departments of State and Homeland Security in facilitating international inbound travel growth.
