In this case, the U.S. Department of State will require an Exchange Visitor pay a $367.00 fee to process the request to extend. |

What to Expect When Living in the US! |
|||||||||||||||
The easiest way of describing US culture is acknowledging that it is a melting pot of many different traditions and individuality. The country’s customs, holidays, food, and music are a fusion of many immigrant heritages that were adapted to new surroundings. Americans have a strong sense of independence and a willingness to share their own ideas, own viewpoints, and value the freedom to do it their way. | |||||||||||||||
