That is correct. The IV fee bill is remaining the same for now.

So far, the IV Fee bill will be the same. Only USCIS is increasing fees from July 30, not the NVC.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
