Short answer
Most US nonimmigrant applicants pay a machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee, reported as $185 for B and F visas and $205 for H and L. A separate Visa Integrity Fee of at least $250 was created in 2025 and is due when a visa is issued, though how posts collect it has varied. Confirm current amounts on travel.state.gov.
Why amounts vary
Fees depend on visa class, and payment is usually in rupees at the consular exchange rate. A rescheduling mistake can also cost you another application fee.
Fees change, so treat these figures as a starting point and check the official fee page before paying anything.
