So I went to the consulate today (mon), dropped off my passport to have my visa put into it, and I asked about the interview and I was told "not necessary"....wtf?!?!

Why do they just make up rules as they go along or what? Is it because I'm working at a public school maybe?

Yes. Or rather, they make up the application of the rules as they go along.

Well, 90% of the interview is probably just checking out the applicants appearance and the OP might have done a good job of that at the window.

I got my new visa last week at the Consulate in New York City. They told me I didn't need an interview because I'd already spent a year teaching in Korea.

Darkness, which consulate did you go to? The consulate in SF told me they decide if the interview is required on a case by case basis. Peace.

Left hand right hand...arbitrary...nonsensical...

Stick your index finger in your mouth, hold your arm up in the air. See which way the wind is blowing.

Nothing is con-sist-ent with these rules and regulations.
