new fees

[bob and phyllis 0]

A quick review of the news fees shows that an application for citizenship, including biometric encoding, would climb to $675 from $400; an application to become a permanent resident would rise to $1,010 from $395. The latter would be partially offset by the elimination of fees applicants have to pay while waiting for the green cards, officials said

I thought the old fee was 275.00........not 395.00...am I looking at the wrong thing?

This is on the main page of this site....Also, my husband saw it in the Courier Journal (Louisville, KY) newspaper......His conditional green card expires Oct. 25, 2007........so I think we will beat the increase by only a few days.

Oh, no..........I see on our timeline that the conditional green card wasn't "approved" on Oct. 25th....Now, I'm not sure we are gonna miss the increase at all..

The new fees will be active starting July 30, 2007.

What you read in the paper with the fees jumping from $395 to $1010 are the fees for AOS, not removal of conditions.

With an expiry date of Oct. 25, 07, you will have to calculate excactly 90 days before that date and that is when your window opens. I estimate you can barely make it, as it should be end of July when your window opens. Get prepared to pay overnight shipping fees though.

Thank you for the quick answer....I just looked at hubby's conditional green card. It expires on Oct. 25, so that will give us just a few days to get everything there. Definately will overnight it!..........One more question......The old fee is $275.00 (including biometrics, right)?

...The old fee is $275.00 (including biometrics, right)?

correct! $205 for I751 and $70 for the biometrics services = $275 total
