I do not see any problem with this. Once the person is maintaining status in the US, they should be fine.

Yes these are the questions. It was not pulled from the DS-160. I filled in the answers myself when I was about to schedule. For me, only the first and last questions were ‘No’. All others were Yes. Thank you

I think after payment of the fees. All the best

You will know the status of the waiver when scheduling for the appointment. It is based on 5 or 6 questions. After those questions, you will be asked to send your passport and the required documents only. There is nothing in the main application to determine your eligibility for the interview...

Got my B1/B2 visa via interview waiver. thanks @smap.windy my experience are similar just that mine is b1/B2 and was not first issued in Canada. I did not request for premium processing but it was issued 2 weeks after they opened my application.

No. It was family visit. But in the invitation letter, I did specify my wife qualify for covid 19 exemption.

Biometrics were valid from previous application that was done in April 2019.

Thank you.. No updates/changes. Same file, same itinerary (was for October). If documents are old, better to resubmitting updated ones.

No changes were made to the documents. My wife updated same documents including invite, bank statements and travel plans. Her original travel dates were in October. But I think if your travel dates have passed and or documents are outdated like 3 months or more, it may be better to submit...
