US B1/B2 Visa Renewal for Pakistanis — Complete Guide
US B1/B2 visa renewal for Pakistanis is simpler than first-time application — if you qualify for interview waiver. Kimi Travels helps Pakistani citizens with US visa renewal, including interview waiver eligibility check, document preparation, and application submission. This guide covers the renewal process, eligibility, and timeline.
Why This Matters
US visa renewal is different from first-time application. If your previous B1/B2 visa expired within the last 48 months, you may qualify for interview waiver — meaning no in-person interview. This saves months of wait time. Kimi Travels checks your eligibility and handles the renewal process.
