Do you think the US Embassies/Consulates charge too much for a VISA to their country?

Question

Just wondering.

Answer 1

Oh yes i think they charge too much and then they also do not always give the Visa....itis because we need more ways to find the ways to fund wars..

Answer 2

No.  If you can't afford the fee then you can't afford to come here.

Answer 3

The US Embassy charges so much for a visa as a discouraging measure for people to come to their country.

Answer 4

nope. compared to others our prices are a bargain.

Answer 5

There has been a US visa application fee for more than ten years.  It is the way to recapture the expense of processing, recording and tracking visa applications and applicants instantly worldwide, creating and using a fraud-resistant visa, and accommodating enormous numbers of visa applicants - many of whom do not qualify for visas but persist in applying over and over again, wasting their time and the time of the legitimate applicants who can't find appointment times because of the backlogs of frivilous applications.

In 2005, US embassies and consulates processed 7.4 million nonimmigrant visa applications, almost two million of which were refused as unqualified.  Why should US taxpayers foot that bill?

Answer 6

YES

Visa costs have tripled in the past 5 years. It's outrageous...
