U.S. Consulates in India Adjusts Consular Exchange Rate

Here is an update from U.S. consulate in New Delhi, Inida. "Effective Friday, October 24, 2008, all United States Consular Sections in India will adjust the consular exchange rate from Rs. 50 to the dollar to Rs. 54 to the dollar." That means visa fees have been increased. What about the application that has already been submitted. The new application fee for nonimmigrant visas is Rs. 7074 (equivalent to USD $131). Receipts issued by HDFC Bank prior to October 24, 2008 that reflect a payment of Rs. 6,550 will be honored and there will be no need for a supplemental payment.
