Starting from January 21, 2026, citizens of several countries, including the Kyrgyz Republic, will be required to pay a financial bond, which will range from $5,000 to $15,000. The specific amount will be determined by the consular officer during the interview.
Additionally, applicants will need to provide Form I-352 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but only after being instructed by the consular officer, as well as confirm their agreement to the bond conditions through the Pay.gov platform of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The ministry also highlighted important points:
- the payment of a financial bond does not guarantee the issuance of a visa;
- in case of a change in immigration status or exceeding the allowed stay in the USA, the bond will not be refunded;
- these rules apply only to new applications submitted after the changes come into effect.
