簽證手續費於2012年4月13日調整

簽證手續費於2012年4月13日調整

自2012年4月13日起，國務院將調整簽證手續費。大部份的非移民簽證申請費及邊界進出卡申請費將調漲，但所有移民簽證手續費則將調降。

國務院必須透過申請費用的收取，以儘可能的補足處理簽證的成本。基於一些原因，目前的費用已經不足以支付處理非移民簽證所需的實際成本。非移民簽證費的調漲將有助於海外設施的增加與擴展，也有助於因簽證需求增加所需的人員增設。

雖然大部份非移民簽證類別的手續費將調漲，但E簽證(條約商人及條約投資人)及K簽證(美國公民的未婚夫或未婚妻)的費用則將調降。

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS

Founded in 1870, our iconic campus is nestled amongst the rolling hills of Central New York—itself a crucible of historic change and progress. Building on that foundation, SU continues to create opportunities for students and faculty to push limits, build pathways, and make connections that lead to new discoveries and transformational change.

Each year we offer over 1,400 graduate assistantships to full-time matriculated graduate students to serve as teaching, research or administrative assistants. Graduate students holding a full assistantship work for an average of twenty hours a week during the academic year. The department making the appointment determines the salary the assistant receives, and many graduate assistants also receive tuition scholarships.

SU Graduate Fellowships consist of a stipend and a full-tuition scholarship (up to 30 credits for the academic year). Where appropriate, they are awarded for more than one academic year. Fellows are appointed annually, primarily from among incoming graduate students, although some returning students entering the final year of a terminal degree program at Syracuse (e.g. M.F.A. or Ph.D.) receive these awards.For more information, please visit: http://bit.ly/y1NqhW
