U.S. Visa Fast-Track Program Lets Applicants Skip 12-Month Wait for $750

A new fast‑track option has been introduced for U.S. visa applicants. The program allows participants to bypass the standard 12‑month waiting line. Applicants who qualify can secure an interview within ten business days. Access to the service requires paying a premium of $750. The cost is intended to cover the expedited processing. Eligibility is limited to certain visa categories, as defined by the State Department. Officials say the option aims to reduce backlogs for high‑demand visas. Critics argue the fee creates a pay‑to‑skip system for those who can afford it.
