Is there a charge for evus visa registration in the United States?

Payment: From March 16, for most non-immigrant visa types, applicants only need to pay the existing unchanged visa fee of 160 USD, and the B2 visa application fee is 1008 RMB.

Applicants will be able to choose to pay online with any debit card issued in China. Applicants can also use UnionPay cards to pay at any ATM of CITIC Bank, or pay in cash at any branch of CITIC Bank.

In the past, in addition to the handling fee, applicants also faced additional fees for booking interviews and arranging the return of passports.

Applicants can also use the new online system to book visa interviews and check their application status.

They can call the new reservation center to make an appointment or answer their questions without extra charge. The new system allows applicants to collect their passports at any of the more than 800 branches of CITIC Bank in China.

Under the new appointment procedure, American embassies and consulates will continue to provide application submission services for most applicants who meet the requirements of renewal without interview.

Extended data:

From March 20 16 13, the new US visa application procedure will be activated. The new system will make it easier for applicants to arrange visa interviews, pay visa fees and check visa issuance.

After the launch of the new program, applicants will be able to use the new online system to make an appointment for a visa interview in the United States and check their application status. At the same time, the service of the original telephone reservation center will remain, but the new call center will be announced in the middle of next month.

Booking an interview online will shorten the average waiting time of applicants to 2 to 4 days, and applicants usually get their passports with visa pages 1 to 2 working days after interviewing visa officers.

In the existing application process, China citizens need to pay three fees when applying for a non-immigrant visa in the United States, namely, an appointment fee (36 yuan -54 yuan RMB), a visa processing fee (160 USD) and a passport mailing fee (32 yuan RMB).

In the new application procedure, the applicant's booking fee and passport mailing fee will be cancelled, and China applicants only need to pay the visa processing fee of US$ 65,438+US$ 060.

The validity period of a US visa refers to the period from the date of issuance of the visa to the future. After this period, the visa will be invalid. Generally, the entry visa issued by the United States is valid for three months.

Visa validity period

"Visa validity" usually means that a visa is valid and can be used for the same purpose during the period from the date of issuance to the date of expiration.

In order to determine the number of times you can travel to the United States with this visa, please check the number of entries on the visa ("entry" means the number of entries).

If the number of entries is multiple ("M" stands for multiple entries), the visa holder can travel to the United States with the visa for multiple times before the visa expires, but the purpose of each trip must be the same.

If the number of entry visas is one, you can only enter the United States once with a visa within the validity period.

The number of visa entry times can be any number, at least once and at most "m" (representing unlimited or multiple times), but the purpose of each entry must be the same.

If you need to travel to the United States frequently and hold multiple entry tourist visas, you don't need to apply for a new tourist visa before going to the United States every time.

However, it should be noted that although you hold a multiple-entry tourist visa, you cannot work or study in the United States with this visa after entering the country.

The validity period of the visa means that during this period, you are allowed to show your visa to the American immigration inspector at the entry port of the United States and ask to enter the United States.

Holding a visa does not guarantee that you will be allowed to enter the United States. You shouldn't confuse the validity of a visa with the length of stay in the United States.

The duration of the visa owner's stay in the United States is determined by the immigration inspector at the entry port of the United States and displayed on your entry and exit record form (I-94 form or I-94W form issued to citizens of visa-free countries).

The expiration date of the visa has nothing to do with the time allowed to stay in the United States on each entry.

Visa stay time

If the applicant is allowed to enter the United States, customs and border protection officials will specify the applicant's stay in the United States on the entry and exit records.

After each admission to the United States, the applicant should ensure that he leaves the United States on or before the last day of the approved stay period according to the specific departure date specified in the entry-exit record form.

Failure to leave the United States before the prescribed deadline will result in the applicant losing his legal status.
