L1B. $500 anti fraud fee

[srikanthjmj]

Dear members,

I have a question for you. I have an OFC appointment scheduled tomorrow & Visa interview scheduled in October.

I just realized that L1 blanket fee $500 is not paid by my organization and need to pay by me. In the portals it is mentioned that the fee can be paid only through demand draft and should have been issued a day before the interview date.

So this fees is required to be paid on Counselor interview date or on OFC appointment date?

Your valuable suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
Srikanth

Hi.

I think you need $500 DD during your visa stamping visit but not during OFC appointment. Please check with few others as well.
