為協助學生和交流訪問者盡快取得簽證，自六月廿四日起，美國在台協會將暫時允許所有申
請學生簽證(F1/F2)、交流訪問簽證(J1/J2)和職業學校學生簽證(M1/M2)的人，不必預約即可
申請簽證。這幾類的申請人可以在週一至週五任一天上午八點到十一點半直接到本會提出申
請，但仍須出示適當的文件(I-20、DS-2019、或M-20)、填寫完整的申請表、劃撥簽證費收
據及有 效的護照。這項措施可以使申請人不必在預約後要等待一段時間（目前大約需要一
星期），而能夠盡早提出申請。

In order to assist as much as possible in resolving delays in processing student and exchange visitor visas, effective June 24, 2003, the American Institute in Taiwan will temporarily allow all Taiwan applicants for student (F1/F2), exchange visitor (J1/J2), and vocational student (M1/M2) visas to apply without making an appointment. Applicants in these classes may come to apply any morning, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Applicants for these visas will still need the appropriate form (I-20, DS-2019, or M-20), a completed application, a fee receipt and a valid passport. This will allow applicants to avoid the wait for appointments (currently about a week), thus making it possible to apply for the visa as early as possible.
