Wow, $903, plus whatever medical ends up costing. I hadn't added all of it up. Nice to see it all in one place. That "Immigrant Fee" is new since the last time I did this...(oh I see why - it is just starting in February. Lucky us!)

I know, this new fee came as a surprise since they just reduced the visa fee from $330 to $230 last year.

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.

Failure to Pay

The applicant will not receive a green card until the required USCIS Immigrant fee is paid.

Failure to pay does not affect the lawful status of the applicant. The applicant will have their passport stamped showing their lawful admission and permanent resident status. This stamp is valid for one year but it is strongly advised that new permanent residents pay the immigrant fee as soon as possible to avoid delays in receiving their Permanent Resident Card.
