Yet another question about the Texas Service Center

[michellemilitza 1]

Hello everyone I sent my I-129F to the Texas Service Center last week, and as I was looking through the forums I found out that it will be forwarded to California. My question is, since the fees change after the 31st, and since it will probably be a good 2-3 weeks before I receieve my first NOA1, will I still be charged the old fees for the rest of the process? I've read numerous messages but haven't wuite found the answer because my petition is the "lucky" few that has to be forwarded to another Center to begin the process. Alsoe I sent a money order instead of a check is there a way to "track" when they cash it? I appreciate the help you guys and Good luck to everyone!

As long as its postmarked before the 30th, you will be charged the old fees.

Depends on who provided the money order. You will have to ask them.

Thanks a lot, I guess that eases my mind a little, and I found out that my file will be forwarded to Vermont....does anyone have any input on how this Center is?

...will I still be charged the old fees for the rest of the process?

if you mean everything that's still coming up - no; you'll be charged the new fees for everything after this point; you'll pay the old fees for the I-129F because it was postmarked before the changes

Vermont has traditionally been the 'good' service centre - if you check the timelines (links at the top of the page) you'll see that the processing times have been quite a bit quicker than the other three places - but it seems to have been slowing down a little recently, for whatever reason(s)
