🚨 USA Big Visa Update – 🇺🇸
The U.S. State Department is proposing a visa bond of up to $15,000 for business and tourist visa applicants from countries with high overstay rates and weak internal document security.
🛂 This new rule is part of a 12-month pilot program and may require applicants to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 while applying.
📌 Key Highlights:
🔹 Applies to countries with high overstay rates
🔹 Will not affect citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries
🔹 The bond may be waived in some individual cases
🔹 Visa renewal process also now includes mandatory in-person interviews
⚠️ This could significantly impact the affordability and ease of obtaining a U.S. visa.
