Effective at the end of July the fee for the I-130 went from $190 to $355 and hasn't gone up since. Those who got their apps in before the increase will still see higher fees for the DS-230 packet and again 2 years down the road when we file to remove conditions.

It is a lot but if you file a I-129 and the I-130 you don't have to pay a seperate fee. It actually a savings of $5 for those who do both. :)

Plus the fee increase is helping to hire 1500 employees. Once they are trained hopefully that'll get this backlog unjammed and everything moving.
