Reminder: USCIS Immigrant Fee Takes Effect on Feb. 1
Starting Friday, Feb. 1, those who receive an immigrant visa package from a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad will be required to pay a new $165 immigrant fee.
We are aware of the effect that any new fee has on the communities we serve. However, the fee is necessary to cover the costs of producing and delivering permanent resident cards.
Important Points to Remember
- Starting on Feb. 1, 2013, applicants must pay both the Department of State (DOS) application fee and the USCIS Immigrant Fee.
- To simplify and centralize the collection of this new fee, we will require immigrants to pay online through the USCIS website.
- Applicants must submit their payment online after they receive their visa package from DOS and before they depart for the United States.
Please see the following page on our website for more information: http://www.uscis.gov/immigrantfee

The page direct payment of fees before entering the U.S. and after visa issuance, but applicants are required to key in their A #, which is not known prior to entering the U.S., and electronic payment can not be made without A #.
what are applicants to do?
new fee from uscis. surprise, surprise. sure you are doing an efficient job with the funds you are already collecting.
Is it possible to get a K-3 visa while you are waiting for an I-130 visa?
Could you please advice how to proceed to correct the information (A# / Case ID #, names)after the payment is sumbitted. I made the payment, but I used an incorrect A#, and PAY.GOV is unable to make the correction..
Please help thank you!
Once applicant receives passport with visa stamp, the A # will be printed on it (see Registration number)
