DOS Raising Visa Filing Fees Next Month
The U.S. Department of State will be increasing nonimmigrant visa application processing fees effective May 30, 2023. These are the fees required to obtain a visa stamp from the U.S. Consulate/Embassy. Visa stamps allow individuals to travel to and re-enter the U.S. under their applicable visa classification.
The new visa filing fees are as follows:
For visa classifications that do not require a preliminary I-129 petition filing, the filing fee will now be $185. The TN visa classification falls under this category. Recall that the reciprocity fee for TN visa stamps was also recently adjusted to $104 / $382 (depending on the validity period of the visa). Note: these changes only apply to Mexican citizens who are required to possess a TN visa stamp for travel to the U.S.; Canadian citizens are exempt.
For H, L, O, P, Q, and R visas, the filing fee will now be $205.
For E visas, the filing fee will now be $315.
For Border Crossing Cards, the fee will now be $185.
