Travelers whose visa requests are approved and have compelling reasons to travel often to the United States will automatically be issued the five-year validity visas. Previously, Sri Lankans could obtain a US visa for a maximum period of one year. In addition the United States will eliminate the $95 issuance fee that had previously been charged for approved visa. Sri Lankans will continue to be charged the $100 visa application fee, a standard fee mandated by Congress and applied to all nationalities. While the decision to issue a visa will continue to be made in accordance with the same strict and rigorous process to deter fraud, legitimate travelers will benefit from the new visa policy.</blockquote>
