Trump admin to offer expedited visa interviews at select embassies for $750
The US State Department will offer a "premium" expedited service for foreigners seeking business or tourist visas to come to the United States that will set applicants back USD 750 -- on top of the initial fee of USD 185. In a notice to be published in the Federal Register this week, the department will unveil a pilot programme that will allow visa applicants to pay the USD 750 to schedule an appointment for an interview within 10 days of the payment at select US embassies and consulates. The pilot programme will run from July 1 to December 31, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and a State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the programme has not yet been announced. The move is a potential effort to ease conditions caused by the Trump administration's push to make entering the US more difficult. The administration has cracked down on most forms of migration for foreigners -- demanding that bonds of up to USD 15,000 be paid
