The U.S. Department of State introduced a pilot program to provide expedited B1/B2 tourist visa appointments. Under this initiative, applicants can secure an interview within approximately 10 business days by paying a non-refundable $750 fee in addition to the standard $185 MRV fee. The program is active in several locations, including Canada, Mexico, and various consulates in Central and South America, such as Bogotá, Guatemala City, San José, and Tegucigalpa. In Bogotá, the expedited service is scheduled to run until December 31, 2026. The total processing cost for this expedited service in that location is $935 per person. As of August 2026, the expedited B-type visa interview pilot remains active in Bogotá for eligible applicants.
