| |  Change in Visa Fees for all Consular Posts in India Posted Aug 03, 2001 From time to time in the MurthyBulletin, we provide updates on procedures at consulates. For example, in last week's MurthyBulletin we included an article on changes at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, France. In this article, we provide an update on visa fees in India. Though the visa fees in U.S. dollars remain unchanged at this time, the U.S. Embassy at New Delhi, and the Consulates at Chennai, Mumbai, and Calcutta are adjusting the required amounts in Indian currency (rupees), effective August 1, 2001. Please note that Calcutta does not process immigrant visa applications. Such changes take place regularly, to reflect current exchange rates. The new fee schedule for rupee payments is provided below : | Nonimmigrant Visa Application Fee | US $45; Rs. 2160 | | Nonimmigrant Visa Issuance Fee | US $75; Rs. 3600 | | Immigrant Visa Application Fee | US $260; Rs. 12,480 | | Immigrant Visa Issuance Fee | US $65; Rs. 3120 | | Returning U.S. Resident Visa Fee | US $50; Rs. 2400 | We hope this updated information helps the many subscribers of the MurthyBulletin, who apply at the various consulates around the world, particularly at the consulates in India, for nonimmigrant and immigrant visas. | |
