The L-1 visa requires payment of the MRV consular fee, the application fee charged to non-immigrant visa applicants at the consular interview. The fee exists and is part of the process, but the exact amount is not something worth stating here: it is set by the U.S. government and is adjusted from time to time.

Because this amount changes over time, reliable information always comes from the official source. Before paying, confirm the current figure through the official channels of the U.S. Department of State or the embassy and consulate where you will have your interview.

  • The MRV is the visa application fee, paid as part of the consular process.
  • The amount is standardized by visa category and reviewed periodically.
  • Confirm the current amount at the official source before generating the payment.

To avoid using an outdated figure, check the current fee through official channels and be wary of third parties who charge different amounts or promise shortcuts in the payment process.
