Nonimmigrant visa fees can only be paid through the website https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/niv/ where you register your application and schedule your visa appointment.
Q: How do I pay the visa fee for my nonimmigrant visa?
A: There have been many instances of payments for nonimmigrant visa fees being sent to the wrong payment site. Nonimmigrant visa fees can ONLY be paid through the https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/niv/ website where you register your application and schedule your visa appointment. PLEASE DO NOT USE pay.gov pay your nonimmigrant visa fee. pay.gov is reserved for the payment of US passport fees only. If you mistakenly pay your visa fee via pay.gov there is no guarantee that your payment can be refunded and you will still have to pay the visa application fee. It is your responsibility to ensure that you pay your visa fees to the correct site.
These tips apply to both initial and renewal requests. Renewal applications are reviewed for eligibility based on current circumstances and previous visa usage. All first-time and renewal applicants, including children, must complete a DS-160 application for a nonimmigrant visa and pay the nonrefundable, nontransferable (MRV) visa application fee.
Visa fees are normally valid for one year, but the Department of State has temporarily extended the validity of visa application fees through September 30, 2023 for all fees paid by September 29, 2022. If you do not have not scheduled a visa appointment by the fee expiry date, you will lose the right to use the fee for a visa application – and this fee is non-refundable.
Payment of the visa application fee is required whether or not the application results in the issuance of a US visa. Payment is also required for renewal applications where the interview requirement is removed. An interview waiver may be possible for applicants in certain age groups or for those applying for the renewal of tourist or crew visas that have expired within the past four years. Eligibility for renewal processing is determined during the process of paying the visa fee and booking an appointment on the https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/niv/ website.
