abujaniv: Not sure I totally understand the question. You're never REQUIRED to use the dropbox--it's a service we offer.

I understand that for NIV renewal,applicant will be required to use the drop box services and will not need to appear for interview unless on special cases the consulate calls for interview of such person.Now,an applicant for renewal of NIV and wants to apply with the spouse(who has never had a NIV) as a group/couple application,will such a person still use the drop box or not?Can such a person use the drop box and appear for interview with the spouse(who is a fresh applicant/never had a NIV).I hope you understand better now.Thanks

Dear Visa Officer,

Thanks for your help so far.I need some enlightenment;a a person that has a valid US NIV and intends to apply with his spouse on expiration,does he need to use the drop box?If he did,will he appear for interview with the spouse since is a couple application?Kindly,inform on the right way to proceed.He wishes to appear for the interview with the spouse because the interviewer on the spouse's last appointment was not fully convinced(her guess)that she was actually married to him because her passport and DS-160 still bear her maiden name.Though on the next application,her Passport would have expired and the new one will reflect her current status.

Your help will be most appreciated.

Thanks
