The State Department will offer a \u201cpremium\u201d expedited service for foreigners seeking business or tourist visas to come to the United States that will set applicants back $750 \u2014 on top of the initial fee of $185.<\/p>\n

In a notice to be published in the Federal Register this week, the department will unveil a pilot program that will allow visa applicants to pay the $750 to schedule an appointment for an interview within 10 days of the payment at select U.S. embassies and consulates.<\/p>\n

The pilot program will run from July 1 to Dec. 31, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press and a State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the program has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n

The move is a potential effort to ease conditions caused by the Trump administration’s push to make entering the United States more difficult. The administration has cracked down on most forms of migration for foreigners \u2014 demanding that bonds of up to $15,000 be paid for visa processing in some, mainly African, countries and requiring years of personal history, including social media accounts, to be vetted.<\/p>\n

The new requirements have caused delays in visa processing around the world, prompting complaints.<\/p>\n

Wait times for visa interviews for citizens of countries that are not part of the Visa Waiver Program can be several months if not longer. But paying the fee for the \u201coptional premium add-on service\u201d does not guarantee that a visa will be issued.<\/p>\n

The embassies and consulates at which the expedited service will be available are to be announced before the program takes effect on July 1. The pilot program will run through the end of the year but could be extended depending on demand.<\/p>\n
