Introduction

Welcome to the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy in Amman.

We provide visa services to Jordanians and citizens of other countries who reside in Jordan and wish to enter the United States temporarily for business, study, or pleasure.

Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fees for nonimmigrant (i.e., visitor and student) visas are payable only at any branch of the CairoAmman Bank.

The Consular Section accepts Visa and Mastercard (credit or debit), U.S. dollars and Jordanian Dinars for all other consular transactions.

Change in Visa Processing Fees (April 13, 2012)

View the Arabic version of this annoucement

Effective April 13, 2012, the Department of State will adjust visa processing fees.  The fees for most nonimmigrant visa applications and Border Crossing Cards will increase, while all immigrant visa processing fees will decrease.

The Department is required to recover, as far as possible, the cost of processing visas through the collection of application fees.  For a number of reasons, the current fees no longer cover the actual cost of processing nonimmigrant visas.  The nonimmigrant visa fee increase will support the addition and expansion of overseas facilities, as well as additional staffing required to meet increased visa demand.

Although most categories of nonimmigrant visa processing fees will increase, the fee for E visas (treaty-traders and treaty-investors) and K visas (for fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens) will decrease.

Nonimmigrant Visa Processing Fees

The proposed fees were published in the Federal Register March 29, 2012, and will take effect in 15 days.  To view the interim final rule, visit www.regulations.gov. 

Comments will be accepted until 60 days after publication.  At that time, the Department will consider the public comments, and the published final rule will include the Department’s response to any comments received.

Fee information may also be found on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website, travel.state.gov, and on the websites of U.S. embassies and consulates.
