| Visa issuance fee eliminated for Indian applicants |
|
On November 9, 2006, it was announced that the US $50 reciprocal
issuance fee for all non-immigrant visas for Indian citizens,
had been eliminated effective immediately. The result will be a
33% reduction in the cost of obtaining a visa.
Visa applicants will still be required to pay an application fee of US $100 at a designated HDFC bank branch prior to scheduling a visa interview. Last month, the Embassy and Consulates General implemented procedures eliminating the visa appointments backlog for Indians who plan travel to the United States. Appointments are currently available for non-immigrant visa applications at all U.S. consular offices in India. |
