Dizzy28 wrote:TT nationals, along with other "aliens" under US immigration law, will soon have to pay an extra US$250 (roughly $1,750) on top of their visa fee of US$185, to enter the US.
The news-site Caribbean National Weekly (CNW) on July 7 highlighted this downside from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act enacted as law on July 4 by President Donald Trump.
The news site said migration into the US would become "significantly more expensive" under the bill which brings a raft of changes.
"It passed both chambers of Congress in early July and was signed into law by President Trump during an Independence Day ceremony at the White House.
The news site said the bill also allocates US$170 billion to immigration and border control efforts, including US$46.6 billion to build a US–Mexico border wall, US$45 billion for new migrant detention centres and US$8 billion to hire 10,000 new ICE officers and staff.
The article said the extra US$250 fee would apply on top of the US$185 fee for visas such as B-1/B-2 (tourist/business), C-1 (transit), D (crew), F (students), M (vocational students), J (exchange visitors), and I (journalists).

One time payment… if you can’t afford it, maybe travel is not for you. If you’re going for lifesaving medical care then decide what life means to you.
Life very simple, everyone has a decision to make.
Things get complicated when you feel you deserve or must have certain things. See that nice big embassy they’re building ? You can fund it or not
