  • No passport numbers or personal identifiers are needed here. This tool does not query or submit an EVUS enrollment.
  • Air and sea travelers need valid enrollment before boarding and through arrival; land travelers need it when applying for admission. Enrollment does not guarantee admission.
  • Check the actual expiration shown at evus.gov. Do not infer enrollment validity from the remaining visa validity.

How it works

The designation effective November 29, 2016 covers PRC passports with maximum-validity B-1, B-2 or B-1/B-2 visas. It includes visas issued for more than nine years and replacements correcting errors in those visas. Remaining validity is irrelevant to this classification. Unknown inputs produce a request to check the document.

The HR-1 fee is USD 31.75 from October 16, 2026. This is the statutory component, not a verified all-in checkout price. The editable estimate is displayed to two decimal places; no intermediate calculation is rounded.

Use the official EVUS service to enroll or check status. This page cannot verify live enrollment.

Worked examples

10-year B-1/B-2 visa

A PRC passport with a 10-year B-1/B-2 visa requires EVUS. With no enrollment, the next step is to enroll. The default statutory fee estimate is $31.75.

9-year B-2 visa

A B-2 visa originally issued for exactly 9 years is outside the cited maximum-validity designation, unless it is an error-correction replacement of a covered visa.

Frequently asked questions

Does a nearly expired 10-year visa still require EVUS?
Yes. Original issued validity controls applicability. A covered visa does not become exempt when fewer years remain.
Does a new passport require re-enrollment?
Yes. The regulation also lists a new designated visa, changed name, gender or nationality, and changed answers to eligibility questions as re-enrollment triggers.
How long does enrollment last?
The regulation generally provides two years, ending sooner if the passport or visa expires. Check the actual expiration in the official system; this checker does not calculate it.
Is pending enrollment enough to board?
No. A covered air or sea traveler needs a valid notification before boarding and through arrival. Land arrivals also require valid enrollment.
Is the displayed fee the final total?
No. The October 2026 notice sets the HR-1 component at $31.75 and says other applicable fees may be additional. Confirm the checkout total on evus.gov.
