US to increase visa fee

New Delhi: The United States will increase the fee for non-immigrant Machine Readable Visa (MRV) from USD 100 to USD 131 from January.

The applicants who possess the USD 100 receipt but failed in scheduling appointment before the prescribed date will be required to deposit a non refundable demand draft of USD 31 to match the difference, the embassy said in a release.

The fee adjustment is the first since 2002 and reflects some of the additional costs of administering non immigrant visas services.

The hike also correlates with domestic inflation in India since the last revision. - PTI
