The new way to get a US visa appointment in 10 days: it costs US$750 and already works in Mexico

The U.S. Department of State has launched a pilot program allowing non-immigrant visa applicants in Mexico to secure an accelerated appointment within ten business days by paying an additional $750 fee. This optional service runs until December 31, 2026, and operates alongside the standard $185 MRV fee. The accelerated appointment does not guarantee visa approval but provides an earlier interview slot. Applicants must first pay the standard fee and schedule a regular appointment before opting into the expedited process. Once selected, the $750 fee must be paid within ten minutes to confirm the appointment, which cannot be rescheduled or refunded if missed. The program targets individuals applying for B-category visas for tourism or business purposes.
