Consular Visa Services Fee Schedule
Current understanding
The Department of State sets fees for consular services at U.S. embassies and consulates, including nonimmigrant visa application fees and optional service surcharges. A temporary program introduces an optional $750 premium fee for B1/B2 (business/tourism) visa applicants to obtain an expedited interview appointment within ten business days at selected posts, offering applicants a paid alternative to standard wait times without changing eligibility criteria.
