Nonimmigrant Visa Application Procedures ALL APPLICANTS, REGARDLESS OF AGE (excluding those applying for diplomatic visas), ARE REQUIRED TO APPEAR AT THE EMBASSY FOR AN INTERVIEW. The application procedure for first time nonimmigrant visa applicants and applicants who were previously issued a nonimmigrant visa is the same. If you are not a first time applicant, you may be eligible for an appointment through the Visa Reissuance Program (VRP). Please read this information to know if you are qualified. Minor (unmarried 17 years old and below) nonimmigrant visa applicants are required to appear with at least one parent for the interview. If the minor is an orphan or if both parents are outside of the Philippines, then a legal guardian must be present during the interview. Step 1: Payment of Application Fee Nonimmigrant visa applicants are required to present a U.S. visa application payment slip to pay the machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee. Before going to the bank, applicants must print the applicable U.S. visa application payment slip and take it to the bank to pay the fee. There is an expiration date on the payment slip. Bank agents will NOT accept payments based on expired slips. Each slip has a unique receipt number. Applicants will not be able to schedule an appointment without the receipt number. If paying for more than one applicant, the payment slip cannot be reproduced nor used for lump sum payment. Nonimmigrant visa applicants must pay the machine-readable visa application fee shown on the schedules below. The fee is based on the purpose of the trip or visa category.
