Exact time to pay 165 $ fee!

[Ms Niss 0]

Hi everybody, i have a simple question, your help is much appreciated

my wife was told during her interview to pay 165 fee (few days) before her US entry day, her visa is issued 1 month ago, we still need more time before we leave together to USA, probably 1 more month when should we pay the 165 fee ? we still can pay this fee (few days) before the entry date ?not too much ? Because it will be 2 months since visa issuance date?

Thanks and good luck

Pay it whenever you want before you leave or after you arrive in US no matter. You have a year from POE to pay. Even if you pay now. It doesn't get triggered until POE and CBP imput the name into the system.

Thanks again for the clarification

I would recommend paying it while you are thinking about it. You don't want to forget. Of couse, you can pay it after you arrive in the US but I would pay it now. I mean what if you run into some kind of trouble and run short of money? If you have the money now pay it and you will have no worries.
