|
The
U.S.Department of State has revised the worldwide
nonimmigrant Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee from $100 to
$131 effective January 1, 2008. Visa applicants who paid the $100 application fee and who appear for an interview after January 31, 2008 will be required to bring a non-refundable demand draft for the $31 difference in fee. The U.S. Mission in India will not be able to significantly increase the number of visa appointments in January. Travelers are cautioned against speculative purchases of $100 MRV appointment receipts in December. Applicants who have not yet purchased a MRV fee receipt from HDFC bank are encouraged to wait until 2008 to pay the application fee to avoid the inconvenience of obtaining a demand draft for the $31 fee difference after January 31, 2008. |
