AP now for 73 days :crying: !!!! I have not seen any AP Visa issued in last few weeks but.....................

I was reading and saw that all visa issue on or before Feb. 1,2013 will have an added fee for USCIS of $165.00 for staff and processing fee of issuing Green Cards! Website say fee must be paid before departing for USA but then below says must be done before card can be issued so its open to do after also I guess! So this leads me to believe this will be a magical time I issuing some visas and many AP ending!! I don't care about fee just give me my husband and his visa!!! PLZZZZZ!!!!

Here is the link if your want to read.

Hmmmm....it looks like this fee is starting February 1st....and only for permanent residence visas. Thinking it won't apply for conditional resident visas? Hope your AP ends soon....ours is still going as well.... been 61 long days! :(
