Can Visa Issuance Fees to US consulate be paid by DD issuedby HDFC bank or it has to be natinalized bank DD

Hi,

My Visa Interview is on 3 Oct .Morning 8.30 am.

I have to pay $50 as Visa issuance fee i.e. Rs 2400 in the form of a DD.

Is DD issued by HDFC bank valid ?

or is it that DD is to be issued by Nationalized bank only?
The VFS site mentions that DD frm Cooperative banks are not valid. IS DD from HDFC bank valid ?

Pls Reply as soon as possible.

You must use HDFC bank:

Visa Application Fee: Rs. 4,800. At the HDFC Bank, this fee can be paid in cash or by Demand Draft/HDFC check that favors the â€œU.S. Embassy â€“ Visa Feesâ€

(if applicable) VFS Service Charge: Rs. 281 (inclusive of Service Tax @ 10% and Education Cess Tax @ 0.2%). At the HDFC Bank, this fee can be paid in cash or by Demand Draft/HDFC Bank check that favors the â€œHDFC Bank a/c VFSâ€

See the following site for HDFC locations:

ok this is right up my alley.
The fiance visa will work, but it is not as safe as the spousal visa.
The fiance visa, k-90 visa is based on her coming here for 90 days. During that 90 days you will have to marry or she will be sent back. The key to the fiance visa is for you to go there, have a party, take many photos to prove your legitimacy.
After the party, you file the papers. This will take 6-14 months. She will get an interview and they will ask her questions to prove its worth.
Honestly you should do what I did. I married my wife in Vietnam. Came home, filed the I-130 spousal visa form. It is much safer and the success rates are much higher. There is so much fraud with the k-90 fiance visa, they deny many many more then the spousal.
Why not marry her there out of respect to her and her family. Big deal, have a simple ceremony. And when she arrives here, go to your church and get it blessed and invite your family:)

dont use the fiance visa, trust me I know. mine failed and I lost 1 year of my life waiting. That is why we then did the spousal visa. The waiting time is shorter and rarely does it get denied.
