You get wjat you pay for. I have been dealing with USCIS fpr 7 years now. They tried to raise the fees but everybody complained so fees are the same. Seeing that USCIS is self supporting, we are going through worst recession in 50 years and the workload of free services (you dont think the illegals are actually going to pay) and everything has gone up in price so to keep the budget services are way down. Thats my take on all this. iIn 2017 our 485 was 7 months, 2019 our 751 was 10 months and 2020 was our N400 7 months. Good times eh
