U.S. VISA APPLICATION FEES TO BE PAID AT ARMECONOM BANK
Support A1+!Applicants for nonimmigrant visas to visit the United States may now pay their application fee in Armenian dram at any of the 40 branches of Armeconom Bank. A list of branches and their locations may be found on the bank's web site at www.aeb.am. Paying the fee in advance will reduce the amount of time each applicant spends in the Embassy waiting room on the day of their interview.
Starting immediately, applicants who pay the application fee for U.S. nonimmigrant visas at the bank will be given preference for appointments. And beginning April 15, 2007, ALL U.S. nonimmigrant visa applicants will be required to pay the application fee at the bank. All other fees, including fees for multiple-entry visas will be collected by the Embassy cashier at the time of the interview. The Embassy cashier now accepts Armenian dram as well as U.S. dollars for the payment of all fees.
Applicants who pay the application fee at the bank must do so before scheduling a visa appointment, because they must give the bank receipt number when scheduling their appointment. Applicants scheduling visa appointments must also provide the EVAF barcode number.
Beginning April 15, 2007, only applicants who have paid the application fee at one of the branches of Armeconom Bank will be scheduled for a visa appointment by the consular section in Yerevan.
