United States Citizens need a visa, however this visa means a stamp that you can get on borders and airports and it's always granted.
The Visa fee is around 40 dollars for US citizens.

Right! USA Citizens dont really need to process a visa prior to the trip, this would be more expensive becuase you will pay other processing fees, but instead wait until you get to the airport in Turkey then you pay for the visa stamp at your arrival and you'll be all set. Back in November I paid only 20dlls, I dont know if the prices have gone up. Good luck!!

This is not fair.
Back in February 2006, I needed a US visa.
I first went to the bank and paid $15 to call the consulate only then on the other side of the line, someone would answer my questions. I called, they answered.
OK. I went to the bank again and I paid some more ($100 ).
I prepared the docs.
I went to the consulate, filled in the forms, added my docs , my fingerprints were taken, I was questioned. The lady asked me a lot of questions all the while saying that "You seem nervous".
OK. I got one at last (multiple entries for 10 years).
Bad thing is my passport expired in May 2006 and I got a new passport and the visa is in the old one.
I don't know what I'm gonna do if I need to go to US again??
Should I go through all that trouble again or would it be easier this time??

If you are a Turkish passport holder, to extend the passport, you wont need a new one, just a new official cachet will be added on the passport.

Yes I am.
So I need to visit the US consulate with my old and new passports?

si++ what kind of questions did they asked you at the US consulate if you don't mind me asking? I want to invite my mother in law to visit us in the US and I know that she has to prove her ties back in Turkey, so she will be just as nervous as you were and I want to help her as much as I can for her to get one, like sending her a letter of invitation for starter.
