Effective November 9, 2006, Indian citizens will no longer have to pay the $50 "visa issuance fee," or "Reciprocity Fee," when applying for a nonimmigrant visa to the U.S. Applicants for a nonimmigrant visa to the U.S. must continue to pay the $100 "visa application fee" (MRV- machine readable visa) prior to scheduling the visa interview.
