If the money will be used to add staff and speed up processing times, then I'm fine with the extra fee. However in typical government fashion I'm sure nothing will move any faster.

NOA1 - 8/24/2012

NOA2 - 3/18/2013 Only took 207 days at CSC

The DOS lowered their fee so the USCIS could charge too. That is how I see it and if it means getting my hubby here so be it!

It sounds like the details of who and when the fee will be collected are still to be determined.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

When and How to Pay the Fee

Applicants must pay this fee online through the USCIS website. Applicants should submit payments after they receive their visa package from DOS and before they depart for the United States.

Applicants can electronically submit the fee by answering the questions on the USCIS website by providing their:

  • checking account information, or
  • debit or credit card information.

All check payments must be drawn on a U.S. bank.

If the applicant is unable to make this payment, another person can make this payment on the applicant's behalf.

:rofl: Idiots! If they want to charge more, have DOS collect it and let them sort it out between USCIS and DOS.
