Follow us on Facebook for all the latest updates on the US visa stamping in Matamoros: USVISAMEX



As of September 1, 2017, all applicants seeking to apply for a US Visa (MRV) in Mexico MUST pay the US Visa Application Fee in cash in person at the bank in Mexico prior to finalizing your appointments for ASC and USC.

You must first complete the DS 160, then you will receive an email containing a PDF with your personalized PIN and expiration date. You will be given a limted amount of time to pay this fee as noted on your PDF. You must pay the fee within the time frame, otherwise you will need to refresh the form and obtain a new PIN. Don't have or know where to get the PDF/PIN? Please click here for instructions: HOW TO OBTAIN PDF/PIN.

USVISAMEX/USVISAPAY is your trusted source to prepay your US Visa Application Fee on your behalf in Mexico for ANY US Consulate in Mexico. We operate with 100% transparency so you don't have to worry about any hidden charges. Let us take the guess work out for you! We can visit the bank on your behalf to make the payment right away!

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW BOTH STEPS DESCRIBED BELOW TO AVOID ANY DELAYS IN PAYING AND/OR RECEIVING THE SCANNED RECEIPTS.

STEP 1. Applicant Take Action

Fill out the PREPAID US VISA APPLICATION FEE ONLINE REQUEST FORM.

We will send you an online invoice to cover the costs associate with paying this on your behalf. Make sure all your information is correct before clicking "SUBMIT". This information is for our personal records and helps us associate your PDF to your file.



STEP 2. Applicant Take Action

Generate the MRV Payment Instructions and email it to [email protected] as soon as you receive it from the reservation system website. It is important that your email contains the following informaiton:

- Full Name

- Phone Number



Q: How do I generate the MRV Payment Instructions? Click here for answer.



STEP 3. USVM Team Take Action

We will send you an online invoice via PayPal with the information you have submitted after completing steps 1 & 2 to complete your payment using your credit/debit card. Do NOT pay using e-check!!!

It will include the US Visa Fee amount in USD*, USVM Service Fee(s), and a 3% payment processing fee after we receive both the PDF and Online Fill Form Information. Please make sure to complete both steps to avoid any delays in processing. You will find more information on the correct amount to pay below:

Q: How do I calculate the US visa application fee in USD?

A: Take the amount in Pesos and divide it by the current rate of exchange. Rates may fluctuate daily.

i.e. $3,705.00 MXN / $18.10 = $204.70 USD

Q: Online shows $190.00 USD, why are you charging $204.70?

A: We go based on the actual amount that is in Pesos and shown on your MRV Payment Instructions PDF. If we take $190.00 USD and exchange it for Pesos based on the rate of exchange given above, as an example, then we will only receive $3,439.00 MXN Pesos.

i.e. Let's say that $1.00 USD = $18.10 MXN Pesos (current rate of exchange as of 03/13/19), that means that we will get $18.10 MXN Pesos for each $1.00 USD that we hand over to exchange. If we only take $190.00 USD and exchange for MXN Pesos, then we only receive $3,439.00 MXN Pesos. See explanation below:

$190.00 USD X $18.10 MXN = $3,439.00 MXN Pesos. We will fall short of having the amount needed to pay at the bank now and have a remaining balance as shown below in MXN Pesos and USD.

$3,705.00 MXN - $3,439.00 MXN = $266.00 MXN Pesos = remaining balance

$266.00 MXN / $18.10 MXN = $14.70 USD = remaning balance

$190.00 USD = $14.70 USD = $204.70 USD

I hope that explains it! We are 100% transparent in our method of operation and will always present all information up-front to prevent any issues down the road.

STEP 4. Applicant Take Action

Pay the online invoice. All payments MUST be received by 7:30 A.M. CST to be guaranteed for processingon the same day excluding Mexican Bank Holidays. Payments received after 7:30 A.M. will be processed on the following business day (excluding Mexican Holidays). Some exceptions may apply depending on our schedules. We recommend being on stand-by after completing steps 1 & 2 as we can invoice you at random times of the day and possibly take care of your payment throughout the day.

All US Visa fees payments received by 7:30 A.M. CST are guaranteed to be processed on that same business day excluding Mexican Bank Holidays.

We will keep you posted on the progress of your payment and email you once it is completed. You will also receive a scanned copy of your receipt for your records. Your US Visa Fee will be paid on the following business day after receiving your payment, excluding Mexican Bank Holidays.

Q: When can I book my dates after the payment is made?

A: We generally see that our clients are able to book within hours of the payment made at the bank in Mexico. In some cases, it will be later that evening. We DO NOT recommend paying the US visa fees on Saturday's as we have shown it to actually take longer to update in the system, therefore, we do not pay on Saturday's.

* A couple of things to keep in mind:

- The payment MUST be made in cash / pesos in person at the bank.

- The amount will vary depending on the current rate of exchange from US dollars to pesos. Your invoice will reflect the current rate of exchange given to us by the banks.

i.e.

Payment of $3,705.00 pesos with a rate of exchange of:

$16.50 pesos to $1.00 US dollar = a cash payment of $224.55 USD each.

$17.50 pesos to $1.00 US dollar = a cash payment of $211.71 USD each.

$18.50 pesos to $1.00 US dollar = a cash payment of $200.27 USD each.

$19.50 pesos to $1.00 US dollar = a cash payment of $190.00 USD each.

Q: Why are you charging more than what the U.S. Consulate website says?

A: We charge depending on the current rate of exchange. We are not sure why they claim the fee is i.e. $190.00. Please read below to get a better understanding of the process:

Process of exchanging US dollars to Pesos / Pesos to US dollars.

Example:

Buying Pesos:

We take $1 US dollar and receive $17.50 pesos for it in return.

Buying US dollars:

We take $19 pesos and receive $1 US dollar pesos for it in return.

This is just an example, but it is EXACTLY how it works! We initially sold our $1 USD and it cost $2 pesos more to get it back. That is how the Rate of Exchange businesses make their money.

Rates vary and fluctuate depending on various factors that are out of our control. Our rates ALWAYS indicate the CURRENT rate of exchange.
