Q: Why does the Embassy no longer collect the MRV fee?

A: For the convenience of our applicants we have contracted with a financial institution that will be able to accept your payment at several different locations. We believe this procedure is beneficial to our applicants who previously had to visit our offices during limited hours to make payments. This also provides consular staff with additional time to process visa applications.

Q: Why does the Embassy charge 131.00 USD for a visa interview?

A: The fee covers the cost of services rendered by the Consular Section to process your application. It is mandated by Congress and is the same at U.S. Embassies and Consulates throughout the world.

Q: Can I get a refund of the MRV fee if my visa is refused?

A: Unfortunately the MRV fee is non-refundable.

Q: Can someone else use my MRV fee receipt?

A: No. The MRV fee receipt contains the name of the applicant and is for use only by that individual. It is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Q: Can I go to my interview without a receipt?

A: No. We cannot process your case without an MRV receipt.

Q: What should I do if I lose my receipt?

A: If you lose your receipt please contact the bank where you made your purchase.

Q: How long is my receipt valid?

A: Your receipt is valid for one year from the date of payment. This payment is for one application. If you make multiple applications you will need to pay the fee each time.

Q: Do babies need to pay visa application fee?

A: Each and every applicant, regardless of the age, must pay same fee of 131USD.
