Apart from the expidited service on passports, can you think of any other government benefit where a form of premium processing is available? I have been trying to think of one that would provide a comparable precedent, but I am reaching a blank.

Money isn't everything honey...

Even if each case was a 'slam dunk' such a on-at-a-time approach would mean an endless line because people could queue up faster than their petitions could be adjudicated. Any 'problem case', whatever the problem, would bring everything to a halt.

How am I a hypocrite? You are since your acceptable price for premium pricing is exactly what YOU can afford. Anything more is outrageous. Life on your terms, eh?

100,000 to me and you is a lot of money.. but it isn't for someone who is wealthier!!
The person who has this kind of money could easily tell you.. I am sorry but since I am welthier than you I can afford premium processing. How would that make you feel?
What I am trying to say is that the so famous called "Fair" amount is VERY relative, It varies from person to person!!

A bus company and an airline company are private enterprizes. Cis is a government funded entity. Lets go private with the fire department and charge someone $100,00.00 to respond to a fire.

good point, but you need to look at the average middle income and come up with a rate based on that.

Ok.. so let's say that I make 500.00 a year, you make 100,000 a year, lp 25,000 a year.. therefor we would say that the average is.. 41,833.33 right?, How is that possible if lp and I make less than that?...

You still avoid the issue, that you feel 1000 is reasonable but 10,000 is not. You clearly can pay 1000 so that is reasonable to you. To me that defines hypocritical thinking.
I know you want to be with your loved one and I respect that. Its just very dangerous when we begin to favor one group over the other.

How about premium processing on a sliding scale. The more you make the more it costs?
