I found the fee for processing the DS-230--$335. I had to go to the state department site to find it. It is not on the USCIS fee lisiting. The DS-230 form on this site is the same one as the State site but it's interesting the form shows the OMB expiration date as 7/31/2007.

They did change all the fees recently.

I'm not sure if they changed the paperwork at all, but I know most fees have been increased. (To "streamline" the process some time in the near future. Or so that's what they say.)

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

Yes...a Russian wife is getting expensive! :) The I-130=$355. The DS-230=$335. The I-864=$70. Then there's the medical exam and shots. And everything is still slow as molasses.

We are still a ways away from all this, but what is required for lifting of conditions and what are the fees associated? They recently went up, right?

2 year GC to 10 year GC - How, and how much?

Hey,

We just went through all this about 6 months ago. For removing conditions you just file the I-751 with the required evidence ...it's a piece of cake and the fees are $465 (plus $80 biometric service fee). You file at the Service Center with jurisdiction over your state of residence.

Here is a pdf of the instructions ... http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-751instr.pdf

And here is the link to the form itself ... http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-751.pdf

Every 10 years thereafter you just file a renewal form I-90 with $290. A biometrics fee of $80 may be included, but in ten years who knows how much it will cost (rhetorical).

Of course, US citizenship would void the requirement to renew.
