All the fees
| Fee | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MRV application fee (B1/B2) | $185 | Per applicant; non-refundable |
| Premium expedite (pilot) | $750 | Optional; on top of $185; Jul–Dec 2026 |
| Issuance/reciprocity fee | $0 | None for Pakistani B1/B2 |

Is the fee refundable?
No. The $185 MRV fee is non-refundable even if your visa is refused, and it is not refunded if you book in the wrong country. Treat every application as final — which is why preparation (see interview questions and requirements) matters more than the fee itself.
How to pay in Pakistan
