Artist visa renewals get easier for UK applicants

Good news for artist visa holders from the UK: when it's time to renew your visa, the US Consulate in London may reissue the visa without you having to attend an interview in London. In order to qualify, you have to meet certain requirements such as having provided a full set of fingerprints when you last applied for your visa. More info on eligibility for the expedited process is available here, from the consulate's website. Hopefully, other US consulates will start following the London consulate's lead!
