How to Pay the Nonrefundable Visa Application Fee
After you have scheduled your visa appointment, you must pay the nonrefundable visa application fee. The fee is the equivalent of US$131 in Colombian pesos.
To pay the fee, go personally to any authorized Banco Helm office. Make sure to take your completed Form DS-156 (Nonimmigrant Visa Application) to Banco Helm when you pay the fee. Banco Helm will affix a three-part barcode receipt to your passport and will mark the Form DS-156 with a folio number. You must remove from your passport the bottom part of the three-part barcode receipt and affix it to the bottom of page two of your Form DS-156. Do not remove the other two parts of the barcode receipt from your passport, or you will not be able to apply for a visa. You must present at the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit the same copy of the Form DS-156 that you presented when you paid the visa application fee.
