Ouch, those price hikes are steep!
Oh well. Luckily for myself I will have most of the fees ticked off before that date.
I think it will only be removal of conditions and citizenship that will potentially affect me.

re: USCIS fee increases December 2016
Am I seeing this right? It was $340 but now they want to charge $3,035 for the K1 Visa? What if they receive new applications before that date and obviously aren't finished, does that mean people will still only pay for the $340 fee? I just can't believe that hike though. That's a lot of money for people, who are already saving every penny they can for the other costs of emigrating and starting a fresh again in a new country...

Effective Date - This rule is effective December 23, 2016. Applications or petitions mailed, postmarked, or otherwise filed on or after December 23, 2016 must include the new fee.

And don't forget, these are just USCIS fees. The cost of the actual visa is determined by Department of State, not USCIS.

I'm such an idiot, I didn't see that chart in the first place. It's times like these I hate being Dyslexic, still no excuse for my stupidity though. Panic over then.
