...Those wanting to apply for academic or vocational visas (F, J, and M visas) may have to pay up to $200 when these changes take effect on October 1, the start of the fiscal year of 2009.

The proposals seek to increase the fees for internationals by charging both the schools that admit foreign students and the individual students and exchange-visitors (such...

And no one seemed more eager to cast...
...first scene of “The Visitor,” Walter Vale struggles in his weekly piano lesson to bend his fingers into the correct position. As his teacher departs, she tells the aging economics professor, “Learning an instrument at your age is difficult, especially if you don’t possess a natural gift for it.” In case the viewer hasn’t grasped the depths of Vale’s despondency by the end of these first few shots, they will soon: in the opening scenes, he gazes forlornly...
