Dept. of State Proposes Increasing K-1 Visa Fees!

On December 14, 2009, the Department of State published a proposed rule in theFederal Register to increase the nonimmigrant visa application processing fees, alsocalled the Machine-Readable Visa (MRV) fee. The proposed rule also establishes a tiered structure with separate fees for different visa categories.

The Department is proposing the increase to ensure sufficient resources to cover theincreasing cost of processing nonimmigrant visas (NIVs).

The new tiered fee structure was created to cover the higher unit costs for processingcertain categories of nonimmigrant visas that are more complicated and require morein-depth consideration than most other categories of nonimmigrant visas

U.S. lawrequires the Department to attempt to recover the cost of processing non-immigrantvisas through the collection of the application fees. Because of ongoing process andsecurity enhancements, the $131 fee set on January 1, 2008 is lower than thecurrent, actual cost of processing non-immigrant visas.

The proposed application fee for K visas for fiancé(e)s of

U.S. citizens would be $350.
