The US government has recently extended the visa waiver scheme for in-person interviews until December 31, 2023. This has been extended to some students, professors, research associates, specialists, and others.
Under the waiver program, consular officers will be able to waive the visa interview needs for a few first-time and renewing F, M, and academic J applicants who earlier got any type of visa, and who have never been refused a visa unless such refusal was overcome or waived, and who have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility.
For some first-time F, M, and academic J applicants who are citizens or nationals of a nation that takes part in the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), in-person interviews can also be waived as long as they have no apparent ineligibility or potential ineligibility and have previously visited the US using a permit obtained through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
