Cost of U.S. visa rises to $262

The cost of taking a trip to the states is about to go up. According to a U.S. embassy release, come January first, the application fee for a non-immigrant visa will rise by thirty-one percent from the existing two hundred Belize dollars to two hundred and sixty-two. The hike, which is being implemented worldwide, is mandated by U.S. law which requires the State Department’s processing costs to be fully covered by application fees. For those people who pay their money prior to January first, the existing two hundred dollar fee will apply only if their interview is scheduled and carried out before January thirty-first. Those interviewed after January thirty-first must pay the additional sixty-two dollars before the interview is conducted.
