Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates
Summary
The Department of State proposes to update the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, which would take effect on February 1, 1998. The proposed rule aims to ensure the department recovers the costs of consular services through user fees, with some fees increasing and others decreasing, including a new processing fee for diversity visa applicants.
