How to renew US visa online in Dropbox

American visa is based on interview; only through face-to-face interview, a visa officer decides whether the applicant will be granted visa or not. However, in the case of visa renewal in certain visa categories, it is possible to get an American visa without an interview.

According to the State Department website, if the applicant's visa has expired recently or within the last 48 months, the visa renewal facility is available through Dropbox without any interview.

Visa renewal via Dropbox may take up to 21 days. However, if one's application is complex, additional time is required. Many applicants may undergo administrative processing or data analysis before the visa application is approved. In that case it takes up to 180 days. It totally depends on the embassy.
