The School's OIP Trip to America is progressively increasing in risk due to COVID-19 virus in America. Despite this, it is still mandatory for all involved students to participate. If the trip is cancelled, the $500USD visa application fee, which was recently increased due to said virus, will not be refundable. I believe that it is unfair to force us to invest our money into such a high-risk event.

So I urge the school to at least take some of the risks for us; to be specific, refund the VISA application fee if the OIP is cancelled.
