I haven't seen any reports of USA consulates requesting interviews. This is more common in SEA consulates. Just speculating, but maybe it has something to do with the wide areas of the consular jurisdictions.
Just a drop in the bucket, tourism-wise. Strange that they would bother focusing on stamping out visa "fraud" with extra border checks, like people are reporting. Haven't heard of someone being denied entry on the visa yet though.
Haha, "workcation paradise," but you have to lie to the immigration officer about the purpose of the stay and do inconvenient border runs every few months.
Huh. Maybe this has become standard procedure because so many DTV-ers come in on the flights from Vietnam. When I flew in from Taiwan, I didn't get asked any questions and the female IO certainly didn't seem confused about what the DTV was. I was probably the only DTV holder on the flight though.
Anonymous participant correction: I read that post again and the poster did not answer when asked for the source of the screengrab. So sorry, spoke too soon, we're still waiting for clarification on this requirement.
