Visa costs up, again

Once again the US State Department is increasing the cost of a non-immigrant visa. Non-immigrant visas will be increasing to $131 at the end of January. That means that anyone wanting to visit the US, even as a tourist, is going to be paying more, 31% more. This is the second increase 9/11 and just another case of extra. How does this affect Americans? Well, several countries, like Chile and Brazil, charge Americans a reciprocal fee. So in effect, Americans will be paying more for visas to these countries. Thanks you, Condi.
