Gsluv: Hello house, pls I'd like to ask this question. On my waec cert "H" was omitted from my name,"Ridwan instead of "Ridhwan", but correctly spelt on other docs, pls do I need to swear an affidavit or it won't cause an issue? My dear brother, while the omission of a letter from your name might be inconsequential and negligible, it won't put a hole in your pocket to correct the error through a court process. Get an affidavit and keep aside just incase it becomes an issue which I doubt. It won't cost more than N500. |

It's my training as an attorney to interpret drafts and status. We examine keywords inorder to arrive at the intentions of the drafts man. The major keyword there says 'Effective 1st February.' Since there is an express mention of a kickoff date, any individual who obtains an immigrant visa BEFORE the specified date is EXEMPTED!!! 1 Like |

peters ife: Gentiner pls does it mean dat those that collected their visa in dec, and plan travelling to america in february 2013 won,t pay the processing fees at the point of entry. To my understanding if you enter the US in Feb this means you will start processing for both your SSN and GC which will take 2 weeks, then you will have to pay the fee. What the Fee Covers If the applicant is unable to make this payment, another person can make this payment on the applicant’s behalf. Failure to Pay The applicant will not receive a green card until the required USCIS Immigrant fee is paid. Failure to pay does not affect the lawful status of the applicant. While the applicant can use their Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Form I-94, Arrival and Departure Record, for one year to document they are a lawful permanent resident, once that I-94 stamp expires, the applicant will need to possess a green card as evidence of their lawful permanent resident status. OR LETS US WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE CONSULATE OFFICE SAYS but meanwhile save $165 per person oooooooo MY QUESTION IS  Is this fee going to be included in the visa fee or we shall pay later after obtaining the visa for those who are current and yet to be OR in an easier way of asking did they raise the fee or its a different fee paid to USCIS Note: Applicants will now have two separate fees to pay. They are still required to pay the DOS visa application processing fee, and will now also have to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee. |
| Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by Gentiger(m): 11:39am On Dec 15, 2012 |
Spoondar: I strongly believe they will look at the date your visa was issued in your passport to determine whether the fee is applicable to you. |

Gentiger:to own interpretation,I think those exempted are only those that receive their green card before 1st of Feb |

femsoj: to own interpretation,I think those exempted are only those that receive their green card before 1st of FebPlease read and digest this: WHO WILL PAY? Any individual who on or after February 1, 2013 receives an immigrant visa package from a United States consulate or embassy abroad (including Canada and Mexico) will pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee. |

ifeanyi.abdul:CORRECT Any individual who on or after February 1, 2013 receives an immigrant visa package from a United States consulate or embassy abroadmeaning after receiving the visa and get to the US one needs to apply for the green card or permanent resident this is when you pay this fee. Can our learned friends digest this slowly and come back with a clear answer. Note: Applicants will now have two separate fees to pay. They are still required to pay the DOS visa application processing fee, and will now also have to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee. |

Initially, I was sure it's gonna be applicable to DV Lottery applicants because we also fall under the immigrant visa category. But what brought the confusion is the fact that "DV Lottery" was not mentioned (I'm a layman), which I want to believe is what is also confusing a lot of people on here. However, I spoke with my Lawyer and he confirmed its applicability to all DV Lottery applicants "effective Feb 1, 2013." Meanwhile, I'll advise that we don't over stretch this matter as it has been confirmed from various angles that DV Lottery applicants are inclusive as from Feb 1, 2013. Thank you. |

i strongly believe those who had paid 330 visa fee and gotten their visa re exempted reason is that the 330 paid at d embassy covers d Green Card and SSN processing. Come 2 think of it those issued visa and & in US never askd to pay 4 SSN and GC cos those charges hs bn deducted frm d 330 paid at d embassy so my own interpretation to ds is dt anyone who had paid 330 and bn issued visa b4 d kick off date feb1won't bother 2 pay 165 dols. thank u all 1 Like |

I love it when people are cracking their minds. This is a rare chance and it is good and healthy when everyone speaks his/her mind out without beef   after all we are yet to read the final verdict from our consulate offices. I only pity those who take things seriously and never flexible because they are easily prone to strokes and heart attacks. I am ready with my $165 and ready to go be it at the CO or US. Good luck all of you |

[Federal Register Volume 77, Number 241 (Friday, December 14, 2012)] [Notices] [Pages 74490-74491] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2012-30226] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [CIS No. 2523-12; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2009-0033] RIN 1615-ZB13 Implementation of Immigrant Visa DHS Domestic Processing Fee AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces that as of February 1, 2013, USCIS will begin to collect a $165 Immigrant Visa DHS Domestic Processing Fee (USCIS Immigrant Fee) from individuals who have been issued immigrant visas by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) and are applying for admission to the United States. Prospective adoptive parents whose child(ren) is/are seeking admission to the United States under the Orphan or Hague Process will be exempt from the USCIS Immigrant Fee. The USCIS Immigrant Fee covers the cost of processing that is performed in the United States after immigrant visa holders receive their visa packages from DOS and are admitted to the United States. This notice provides instructions on how individuals who have been issued immigrant visas from DOS can pay the fee. DATES: On February 1, 2013, USCIS will begin collecting the USCIS Immigrant Fee from individuals who have been issued immigrant visas by DOS. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lyndon Lewis, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Financial Management Division, 20 Massachusetts Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20529-2060; or by phone at (202) 272-9675 (this is not a toll-free number). You may also visit www.USCIS.gov/immigrantfee where a news release and a detailed payment Web page, including a set of questions and answers about the USCIS Immigrant Fee, are available. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background on Fee On September 24, 2010, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published the final rule titled, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Fee Schedule. 75 FR 58962. That final rule became effective on Nov. 23, 2010. The final rule, among other things, established the USCIS Immigrant Fee at $165 to recover the cost of processing that is performed in the United States after immigrant visa holders receive their immigrant visa packages from DOS at overseas consulates and are admitted to the United States. See 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1)(i)(D); see also 75 FR at 58979 (public comments on the Immigrant Visa DHS Domestic Processing Fee and DHS response). USCIS established this fee to recover its costs associated with processing, filing and maintaining the immigrant visa package, and producing and mailing required documents. USCIS has not collected the fee from immigrant visa holders applying for admission to the United States because implementing procedures have only recently been developed in conjunction with DOS. Since the fee has not been collected since it was established, USCIS is publishing this Notice to announce that the USCIS Immigrant Fee collection process is now in place and that USCIS will begin collecting the fee in accordance with this Notice and the USCIS fee regulation at 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1)(i)(D). The USCIS Director, however, is exempting from this USCIS Immigrant Fee prospective adoptive parents whose child(ren) is/are seeking admission to the United States under the Orphan or Hague Process. In addition, the Director has determined that the public interest of encouraging adoption of international orphans is served by exempting these new adoptive parents from this fee. USCIS will include the cost of processing immigrant visas for overseas adoptees in the next fee study conducted for adjustment of the USCIS fee schedule. II. Fee Collection Process To simplify and centralize the new fee collection process, immigrant visa holders applying for admission to the United States must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee online at Pay.gov. Immigrant visa holders can electronically submit the fee by answering the questions on the USCIS intake page on Pay.gov and providing their checking account, debit or credit card information. Check payments must be drawn on a U.S. bank. If the immigrant visa holder is unable to make this payment, another person can make this payment on the immigrant visa holder's behalf. Immigrant visa holders must submit payments online after they receive their immigrant visa package from DOS. DOS will issue the applicant: A USCIS handout which will include the immigrant visa holder's Alien number and Case ID number; and [[Page 74491]] Instructions on how to submit payment. Payment should be made before traveling to the United States. Immigrant visa holders should keep a copy of their receipt for their records. More details are available at www.USCIS.gov/immigrantfee. Failure to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee will not directly result in denial of admission to the United States as an immigrant or the loss of status as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. However, USCIS will not issue a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) to an individual who is subject to the USCIS Immigrant Fee until the individual has remitted the fee. Failure to obtain the Form I-551 will make it difficult for the individual to show that he or she has complied with the alien registration requirements in sections 261-266 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1301-1306. It may also make it difficult for the individual to show that he or she is authorized to accept employment in the United States or to return to the United States from temporary foreign travel.
