Effective October 1, the United States will require a $250 visa integrity fee for certain nonimmigrant visa applications, including those for tourists, students, and visitors entering the United States for business. This fee will not apply for individuals traveling from countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and will not apply to most Canadian visitors.
The $250 fee must be paid once the visa has been issued and may be refunded if the visa holder complies with the conditions of the visa. It is a separate charge which will be added to current visa processing and application fees.
If you have any questions, we would be happy to speak with you.
