    The document outlines the eligibility criteria for two programs - the Interview Waiver Program "Drop-Box" and the Interview Waiver Program. The Drop-Box program allows qualifying applicants to submit documents without a visa interview, while the Interview Waiver Program requires fingerprinting but waives the interview. To qualify for either program, applicants must have received their most recent visa in India after a certain date, cannot have any refusals, must meet criteria for their visa type, and cannot have certain annotations on their prior visa. Child applicants must provide a parent's valid visa, and those over 80 only need to not have a prior refusal. The document cautions these programs do not guarantee visa issuance.
