Fonte: International Business Times

The United States has significantly expanded a controversial visa policy that could affect thousands of travellers worldwide, particularly those applying for short-term business or tourist visas. Under the updated rules, certain applicants for B1 and B2 visas may now be required to pay a refundable bond of up to $15,000 as part of their application process. This move forms part of a bigger effort by US authorities to tighten immigration controls and reduce visa overstays.
