US To Scrap "Dropbox" Visa Renewals From September 2: Here's What To Know
The United States has announced the closure of its "Dropbox" visa renewal, officially known as the Interview Waiver Program, for the majority of non-immigrant categories, including H-1B, H-4, F, M, O1, J, and L1. Beginning September 2, 2025, all candidates, including children under 14 and seniors over 79, will have to appear in person for an interview with a consular officer. The amendment was proposed by the Trump administration to strengthen security and immigration screening. What Was the Dropbox Program? The Dropbox feature enabled qualified candidates to submit necessary papers at specified locations instead of attending in-person interviews. Those with a spotless visa record particularly appreciated the faster and less stressful process it provided. Limited Exceptions Certain groups will continue to have waiver privileges. Holders of diplomatic or official visas such as TECRO E-1, NATO-1 to NATO-6, G-1 to G-4, A-1, A-2, and C-3 (apart from attendants or personal staff) are still eligible. A limited group of B-1/B-2 tourist or business renewals that meet strict criteria may still be eligible. However, even these may be referred to interviews at the consular officer's discretion. Implications for Indians Indians are among the communities making the most of the Dropbox method. The wait times for visas at US consulates in India are already among the longest in the world. Dropbox removal is expected to: Heightened demand and longer wait times at consulates Delays in onboarding H-1B workers affecting project timelines for Indian IT and other firms Academic disruptions, as students face holdups in visa processing Strain on families, with both children and elderly applicants now needing interviews Some Dropbox slots in August and September 2025 have already been withdrawn, forcing applicants to attend in-person interviews, which already indicates the early impact. What Candidates Should Do In order to avoid required interviews, current Dropbox-eligible applicants-especially H-1B workers-are encouraged to complete their renewals by September 2. Universities and employers may also need to modify their schedules to accommodate delays in visa processing. Candidates should frequently check the websites of US embassies and consulates for the most recent information on appointment schedules and available slots. For Indians who depend on speedy visa renewals, immigration experts caution that these changes may cause significant logistical challenges and travel disruptions. It signifies a loss of convenience and perhaps costly delays, just as systems like Dropbox were streamlined to promote easy renewals.

Rupee rises 3 paise to close at 87.72 against U.S. dollar
The rupee consolidated in a narrow range to settle just 3 paise higher at 87.72 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday (August 12, 2025) amid a negative trend in domestic equities. Forex traders said the rupee is trading in a tight range as a late decline in domestic markets and foreign fund outflows capped sharp gains for the domestic unit. Moreover, there is an overall negative bias amid uncertainties over the trade tariff issue between India and the U.S. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 87.70 and moved in a range of 87.59-87.72 during the day before settling at 87.72 (provisional), just 3 paise higher than its previous close. On Monday (August 11, 2025), the domestic unit closed at 87.75 against the U.S. dollar. Investors are in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of the U.S. CPI inflation data and are also awaiting cues from the U.S.-Russia talks on August 15, traders said. 'We expect the rupee to trade with a negative bias on account of the ongoing trade tariff war between India and the U.S. Sustained FII outflows may also pressurise the rupee.' "However, weakness in the U.S. Dollar and declining crude oil prices may support the rupee at lower levels. Investors now focus on the U.S. and Indian inflation data this week. USD/INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of 87.40 to 87," said Anuj Chaudhary, Research Analyst Commodities and Currencies, Mirae Asset Sharekhan. Meanwhile, Brent crude prices rose 0.41% to $66.70 per barrel in futures trade. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, advanced 0.04% to 98.55. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex dropped 368.49 points to settle at 80,235.59, while Nifty declined 97.65 points to close at 24,487.40. Foreign Institutional Investors offloaded equities worth ₹1,202.65 crore on Monday (August 11, 2025), according to exchange data.
