It is so nonsense to presume that the US Embassy is making a hell lot of money out of 120 VISA applicants per day? I suspect that amounts of money collected from is hardly adequate to support it's adminstrative costs even if we were to calculate strictly in monetary terms. The cost of find willing staffs: The cost of employing them: First of all, now fewer and fewer Americans want to take govermental jobs, even fewer would want to relocate because of the job even within the US. Relocating themselves completly out of the country to distant parts of the world for so long peroid would result in even fewer candidates. Employee willing to go so far out their homeland for so long completly seperated from so many things would go only when they are well paid. Cost of running the day to day works: God...there is a hell of overhead cost, indirect costs....dog it's absolutely nonesense to say the embassy is making money out of mere 100$...ha ha ha
