DOS Raising Visa Filing Fees Next Month</a>

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.
