Lucky!

That is a very big increase, more than twice as much. Considering I had to pay a lwyer for our K1 (did not know VJ back then and had NO TIME to figure things out) I would have been pissed if that had gone up during processing.

Immigrating is becoming a thing for the rich...

Anytime you think you read a government fee is being reduced...you did not read it right.

The VISA fee has increased from $131 to $350. This will be paid for the visa at the time of the interview. The PETITION fee is the same for now...$455.

Ooooooookay I got it now. App fee due at the interview went up not the petition fee. Got it.

Really? I wanna cry now. Like a little kid. SO not fair that the fee is going up. We could barely get the money for the trips the medical, and the visa fee of 131, and all that stuff and expenses turned out to be like 350 dollars ( cause I need to travel to the embassy IF all that occures, fees for documents, sending a copy of application and afidavit) and now, plus 350, i saw it on the embassy site, just I thought it meant sth else. Life is no fair. I know there is no price to pay to be with your loved one, but what can you do if you dont have the money? so that people dont deserve to be loved cause they cant pay for it?

AOS fees going up as well

[natasha/willem 1]

While I think the sentiment is sweet, I always wonder when people say stuff like this. Those fees are really tough for some people to come up with. If they are upset by the fee increase, does that mean they love their SO less? I don't think so.

It is OK to complain about fees.

Did I read that right? The fee for the K1 Visa is going down to $350 from $455??? And it takes affect less than a week after I sent ours in??? Gggggrrrrrrrr. Oh, well small price to pay.

FWIW, ya, there's talk of reduction for the I-129F petition.

Not the K-1 visa fee, but the I-129F petition fee, down to 340 ..

is proposed, see http://www.visajourney.com/news/2010/06/11/update-uscis-proposes-increased-fees-for-immigration-benefits/
