Key Points:
BAL Analysis: Applicants with MRV receipts issued before Oct. 1, 2022, are encouraged to book appointments this month in order to avoid having to pay their MRV fee another time. Similarly, applicants with receipts issued before this date should not to attempt to change their appointment dates on or after Oct. 1, 2023. Doing so will result in the appointment being canceled and the forfeiture of their receipt. For more information, find the State Department’s announcement of this change here.
