The U.S. State Department has delayed the effective date of consular fee increases for nonimmigrant visa applications and Border Crossing Cards for some Mexican nationals.
Key Points:
Additional Information: More information regarding the delayed consular fee increases is available in the Federal Register notice.
BAL Analysis: The State Department stated that it delayed the effective date of the fee increases because the final rule was not delivered to the U.S. Senate until April 17, and by law there must be a 60-day review period. Current fees will remain in place until June 17. Employers should take the consular fees increases into account and adjust their budgets.
