New Blog, New Fees

This is my first posting on my new blog. Unfortunately, bad news only. CIS is raising fees. Again!

Here's the story:

Beginning October 26, 2005, most CIS filing fees will increase. The fee for CIS form N–400, Application for Naturalization, will increase $10 to $330. For CIS form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, the fee increase is $5 to $190. For more information on the fee increases check the CIS website: http://uscis.gov/.

Now, if only the quality of service would go up as well.
