Starting December 12, 2011, all application fees must be paid through the new system. Fees can be paid by cash at any Israeli Postal Bank or Bank of Palestine location or by credit card either online or through the call center. Please note that cash payments take approximately 24 hours to register in the online system. If you choose to pay the MRV payment by cash, you also will need to download a deposit slip through the online account you created at http://Jerusalem.usvisa-info.com before going to the bank. MRV application fees paid prior to December 12, 2011, at the Israeli Postal Bank or Cairo Amman Bank will be honored for a year from the date of payment. Applicants who pay the MRV fee before the new system goes into effect but who have not yet booked an appointment must schedule an interview directly through the call center (local: 02-5677833; U.S.-based: 703-439-2344). As before, MRV application fee payments are valid for a single application within one year from the date of payment.
