The United States Department of State announced an increase in consular fees for the B1/B2 visa.
Starting from 17.06.2023, the fee for a B1/B2 visa is $185. This amount is non-refundable. It is charged for the application review process in the chosen country of document submission and the subsequent issuance of a multiple-entry visa valid for up to 3 years.
However, since 2023, the consular fee cannot be paid using bank cards issued by the Russian Federation. Those wishing to obtain a US visa can use their foreign cards or ask for help from friends or relatives living abroad (payment by card in another person's name is accepted).
