Step 3: Payment of Application Fee

Nonimmigrant visa applicants must pay the machine-readable visa application fee shown on

the schedules below. The fee is based on the purpose of the trip or visa category.

Effective June 4, 2010, the fees are as follows:

$140 B1/B2, C1/D, F, J, and all other NIV categories not listed below

(Visitor/Transit/Student)

$150 H, L, O, P, Q, and R (Temporary Worker)

$350 K (Fiance)

$390 E (Investor/Trader)

If an applicant paid a visa fee of $131 but has an appointment afterJune 4:

All applicants with an interview date after June 4 must pay the full MRV fee, even if they paid

at the former rate of $131. The Embassy requests that visa applicants who paid the MRV fee

of $131 for an appointment scheduled after June 4 pay for the difference in fees at the same

bank branch where they made the initial $131 payment. For instance, if an applicant made a

visa interview appointment for a tourist visa for Friday,June 4, and paid the former MRV fee of

$131, the applicant will need to pay the difference of $9 before arriving at the Embassy on the

appointment date. Applicants for other visa categories will need to pay the appropriate

incremental fee difference. Applicants will need to present both blue MRV fee receipts when

arriving at the Embassy (in this example, receipts for $131 and $9). Applicants will not be

allowed to enter the Embassy for their interview unless the full MRV fee has been

paid.

The MRV fee can only be paid at any branch of BDO and Citis branches in Makati, Greenhills,

Libis, Binondo, Alabang, and Cebu. The fee must be paid in Philippine currency at the U.S.

government exchange rate prevailing on the day of payment. Applicants are required topresent their DS-160 Confirmation Page and Appointment Confirmation Receipt to

the bank teller.

Upon payment of the MRV application fee, the bank will issue two copies of the bill

payment slip. The copy on blue paper is the U.S. Embassy copy. On the day of the interview,

the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit will accept only the U.S. Embassy copy as proof of payment of

the MRV application fee. The MRV fee payment slip (U.S. Embassy copy) must be attached to

the DS-160 confirmation page when an applicant appears for a visa interview. If the U.S.

Embassy copy of the bills payment slip is lost, the applicant will need to pay a new MRV fee.

The following individuals and visa classifications are exempt from paying the machine-readable

visa application fee:

Visa application fees are nonrefundable. No exceptions will be made to this rule. The fee istransferable, meaning that one person can pay the fee on behalf of another person. It is validfor one year after the date of actual payment; the interview must fall within the one-year

validity.Note:
