Original Note:
The fee is more of a 250$ deposit, once the visitor completes the terms (departing on time, not accepting unauthorized employment, not commiting crimes, etc) they will be refunded. This is designed to create a financial incentive to comply with the visa's terms. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/18/visa-integrity-fee-what-to-know-about-new-travel-fee-to-enter-the-us-.html
