Much of the DS-156E cost is already incorporated into the DS-160 costs. However, processing an E visa takes an average of 13 additional minutes of locally employed staff time and an extra 1 minute of consular officer time. Using the average hourly wage with included overhead of $53.32 and $202.39 for each position respectively yields a cost of $14.92 per application. (($53.32 per hour x 13 minutes) + $202.39 per hour x 1 minute) = $14.92 per application.) Multiplied by the number of respondents, we estimate the federal government cost of the DS-156E to be $641,710.50.
