To be fair, up untill sometime last year the IV fee used to $404!!!!! then it was REDUCED TO $230. So effective Feb 1 this additional fee of $165 was added as GC issuance fee. By my calculation $230+

I'm lost :( someone who has paid it??? Please help

If you are paying the fee you need to pay after you get your visa but before you enter the USA -

You pay $165, from the drop down menu pick the one that says "" Immigrant visa DHS domestic processing: $165 ""

you could travel when you have the visa packet back from the IV unit.

Not pay the fee for greencard to uscis? doesn't stop your travel. only stops green card issuance.

So now the USCIs have found a clever way to rip us off some more,huh? $165 in immigrant fees to "HELP" them recover the resources spent on processing a visa? Really? You don't say!!!!
