Jet,
Thanks for the update. It looks as though our timing was finally good, we file the N-400 on June 30th, fully 30 days ahead of the fee increase, $330.00 instead of $675.00. No doubt they'll wait til after the deadline to jack us up on the biometrics.

Seems like they are jacking up the fees but will the service be any better? I say no.

I was shocked when seeing this.
The old I129f fee was $170. Now it is $455. That's 2 2/3 increase! Holy cow.
Looks like other fees were jacked way up also.
My question - if anyone might know this - is what was the justification for such a high increase? Is it for better service? Faster service? More complete background checks?
How often do these fees change?
I mean... the $170.00 for me was basically not noticed. But $455.00 for some will be a lot of money. And to be honest I have not looked into the costs after my Elena arrives. For me it will not be that big a deal financially. BUT - for some people it seems this will be a financial burden that might hurt.
In other words - what I am trying to say is the increases do not affect me personally that much. But I question how this will affect others, and how will the increased revenue be spent? Any guesses? Any links to actual references to this on USCIS?
Son of Clyde:
The justification is all the world class service USCIS has been giving us for years.
NOT!!!
