What the US Border Crossing Card is
According to the official explanation, the card is typically valid for ten years from the date of issuance:
"A Form DSP-150 is both a Border Crossing Card and a B1/B2 visitor visa, but a DSP-150 is generally called a Border Crossing Card ('BCC'). It is issued as a laminated card, which has enhanced graphics and technology, similar to the size of a credit card. It is valid for travel until the expiration date on the front of the card, usually ten years after issuance."
How much the Border Crossing Card costs
The US government has set the application fee for the 10-year Border Crossing Card at $185 (N248,786). This fee applies to applicants who are 15 years of age and older.
The card is particularly significant because it serves a dual purpose: it functions as both a standalone travel document for eligible border crossings and as a B1/B2 visitor visa, covering both business and tourism purposes under a single credential.
