B2 Interview Waiver eligibility after abandoning Green Card

Hi, Me, my wife and Daughter had received our US Green Card Visa in 2016 (validity until 2026). In October 2023, we received confirmation on surrendering the Green Card through our I 407 applications. Since, we were issued the green card visa, which expired or surrendered within 48 months as of today, I would like to know If we could be eligible for the interview waiver. Kindly respond.

Your background is nuanced, and intervew waiver is not guaranteed, so even if someone qualifies, they may still be called in for an interview.

Regardless, one of the key factors for assessment during a non-immigrant visa is your likehood to leave the US as soon as you’ve accomplished the purpose of your visit. Given that you surrendered your green card, it is a good precedent that you’re not looking to immigrate. Make sure you communicate well and effectively answer the questions, and you should be OK.
