Understanding real visa interview requirements before traveling

Visa applicants struggle to understand whether they need in-person interviews at embassies for specific countries/visa types and can't find accurate, current information about interview processes, required documents, or likely approval timelines. Consulate websites are outdated, travel agents provide conflicting advice, and applicants risk booking flights only to discover interviews are required post-application.
