This information has come to light from a US official and an internal memo of the State Department.
People entering the US on tourist and other non-immigrant visas currently have to pay a processing fee of $185. In the future plan, the $1,000 option will be a premium service, which will give some people a chance to jump to the front of the line for visa interview.
Plan to give US citizenship for five million dollars
According to the memo, this scheme can start in pilot form in December. The proposed fee for visa appointment comes in line with President Donald Trump’s “Gold Card” vision, which is a plan to give US citizenship for five million dollars.
