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 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.
