Considering that in Santo Domingo the fee is US$160 plus US$80 the day of the interview, that makes US$240 ...what I don't see if there is going to be an extra charge for the fiancé visa at the consulate (I mean 265 plus something else like the 80 dollars?), or each visa will have a specific fee and pay no more. If it's so, then it means only a rise of US$25.

I guess

After reading this I can't help but think if this whole "system crashed" by homeland security was nothing but a scam to make people pay more money. I am furious at the moment. I wonder if they will give money back to people that $420.00 for filing I-130 petitions ?.

You realize the $420 for the petition was a completely different department of the government?

I would still like to see some proof of this claim.

The price increase won't affect immigrant visa beneficiaries who have already paid the lower fees, even if they interview after the December cut-off date. This affects non-immigrants only. Putting that out there because I tripped up on that one last night and had a mini-freak-out.

[Hotter Otter 1,211]

Call me a massive cynic but it seems possible that increased fees might just not lead to improved service?

I just linked that the post before yours. I looked for myself.

LOL. Looks like DCF is going to cost a bit extra.
