As someone who doesn't live in Auckland, needing to do face to face interviews before traveling to the States, would effectively end my quick visits on route to Europe...

That conference I was contemplating later in year in USA.... Other conferences are available.

This is ridiculous. Watch tourism market into USA go down the toilet.

Singapore stop overs here I come.

From here:

“The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with section 222 of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act), which requires that all individuals seeking a nonimmigrant visa, undergo an in-person interview, subject to specific statutory exceptions,” the draft executive order states.

Note this is the Visa Interview Waiver Program. This applies to people that need visa renewal so that they don't need an interview. Trump wants to change that.

This is not the Visa Waiver Program. For more information take this from the US Embassy in the UK.
