This temporary final rule (TFR) provides flexibility for consular officers to waive the personal appearance of certain repeat immigrant visa applicants who were approved for an immigrant visa in the same classification and on the same basis as the current application on or after September 1, 2019.  It also gives consular officers discretion to allow this subset of immigrant visa applicants to subscribe to the accuracy of the contents of their application under oath in writing rather than in person before a consular officer.  This TFR is effective during the period while the COVID-19 outbreak is declared a National Emergency and expires 180 days after its termination.
