We just had an National Interest Exception (NIE) request approved at the U.S. Consulate in London. The applicant has a valid ESTA and will be travelling to the U.S. as a B-1 business visitor. The applicant is a national of the UK and will be coming to the U.S. to attend negotiations of a new joint venture in the critical industry sector. The Consulate approved the NIE in less than 2 weeks.
