Since the pandemic, several Latin American Winter Work and Travel countries have faced recurring challenges related to US. visa interview appointment availability. While these constraints have often been successfully mitigated, they continue to represent a structural risk for BridgeUSA programs.

In this webinar, Alliance for International Exchange Executive Director Mark Overmann and USE Founder and CEO Rafael Espinoza will discuss how these challenges were addressed through collaborative efforts between their organisations, the strategies implemented to reduce their impact, and lessons learned for future seasons. The session will also help participants better understand which initiatives may be applicable to addressing program challenges related to U.S. Consular Affairs in their respective countries.

This session will be moderated by Alexis Blackburn-Rose of InterExchange. Join them on Tuesday, 10 February at 10:00 EST / 16:00 CET as they share proven best practices for increasing visa interview appointment availability and strengthening engagement with U.S. embassies worldwide.
