As a Costa Rican citizen applying for a B1/B2 tourist visa, I need to know when new interview appointments are typically released, what urgent travel reasons qualify for an expedited appointment, and if tourism is a valid reason for an expedited appointment.
Navigate to the 'Important Visa Information' page at https://cr.usembassy.gov/visas/important-visa-information/ Locate the 'Schedule for Opening Interview Appointments' section. Identify when new tourist visa (B1/B2) interview appointments are typically opened. Locate the 'Apply for an Expedited Visa Appointment' section. Identify the list of urgent travel needs that qualify for an expedited appointment. Determine if tourism travel is listed as a qualifying reason for an expedited appointment. Synthesize the findings into a concise answer.
State that new interview appointments for tourist visas (B1/B2) are opened every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. List the types of urgent travel that qualify for an expedited appointment: Medical Need, Once-in-a-Lifetime Events, Business Travel, Air/Sea Crew, Students or exchange visitors. Clearly state that no expedited appointments are available for tourism travel.
