Summary: The GREAT USA Coalition, representing over 30 member organizations in the travel and hospitality industries, supports the proposed temporary final rule as a constructive first step to expand visa interview capacity. While they express concerns about the high total cost for travelers and urge the Department to use the pilot's revenue for long-term structural investments in staffing and technology, they ultimately welcome the initiative to improve the visitor experience.
