It is the green card fee that must be paid by the applicant before departure to the United States. It went into effect for immigrant visas issued on and after Feb 1 2013. Without it being paid, the GC will not be issued after they arrive. While the burden rests on the applicant, anyone can pay the fee on their behalf as long as they have the info needed like Alien number, case nunber etc.
