What is the new process for applying for a nonimmigrant visa to the United States?
Before applicants can schedule an appointment, they will be required to complete the DS-160 online application and pay the visa application fee (MRV fee). If the applicant chooses to pay the MRV fee at Banamex or Scotiabank, each applicant will print a deposit slip with the correct amount of the MRV fee and the applicant’s receipt number. The MRV fee can also be paid by credit card through the appointment website or by telephone. The appointment website will be available soon. Whether the applicant schedules an appointment through the web site or through the call center, the DS-160 nonimmigrant visa application form bar code number and the MRV receipt number will be collected prior to the scheduling of the appropriate appointment for the ASC as well as the consular section appointment, if required. During the scheduling process, applicants will have an opportunity to choose a convenient DHL location to pick up their passports with the approved visa.
