Dv 2007 winners From Nigeria

I am somewhat confused myself. From what I read the $1,010 seems to apply to those who are already in the US and are seeking to adjust their status.

I am not sure what figure would apply to DV applicants doing CP.

How does this affect DV cases? Is the increase across board or specifically to some areas? I will appreciate if those who have a clearer understanding on what it will now cost those of us whose dates have not been scheduled to guide us. God bless you all.
No matter what, we shall arrive safely without any fatality.

Regards!

I have asked someone to get the details from the Embassy for me so that we can all have the idea of what it is.

The Giants On The Way

Dear Friends!
I thought it wise to give us this message at this time of our life, permit me to remind you that "The Giants On You Way Is An Evidence That You Have Missed Your Promised Land" If they Like let them take the price to $10,000, we will have no choice than to still pay, do not be among those that will be discouraged with this red sea. My people, we refused to be discouraged, if you want to borrow, please start making arrangement towards that, if you want to raise fund from family and friends, start it now, never and never allow money to be your source of discouragement!

When Israelites were going to their Promised Land, God would have taken care of the Giants on the ways, I mean all the -sites, but He decided to let them alone, paraventures, when they see war, they would turn back. " When You Are Down To Nothing, Then God Is Up To Something!
Strive Hard to get there. You Are A Winner! and You Can If You Think You Can.

Yes thats it, He that brought us to it he's able to see us through.
 
Let us pray

I just ask that we pray that the fee increase will not affect new visa applications after July 30.
This is my logic: This fee increase was instituted by USCIS which handles immigration matters WITHIN the US, NOT the Department of States [which handles visa application for foreigners who have not yet stepped into the US.
Therefore, the increase -as is- ONLY applies to those foreigners in the US who are trying to fix their status; not to those outside the US.
The only way this will affect foreign visa applicants is if the U.S. Department of State decides to implement its own price increases.
This gets complicated because countries tend not to "jack up" visa fees arbitrarily because there can be retaliatory price increases by other coutries and they tend to consult with their allies before the prices increase. Some diplomatic negotiation will take place
The US may not care about what Nigeria thinks, but they care about what UK, Canada, Australia etc thinks about visa costs, since the cost increase will be applied to all countries.
The State Dept. may not automatically increase prices [with the USCIS]because it may not actually have any need for the money.
I came across an article last week which explains why USCIS increased their fees:
Some years back, the US Congress decided that since USCIS was mainly providing services to foreigners [within the US], the US govt will no longer use US tax payer money to subsidize the USCIS; yet the USCIS still needs to process these foreigners and implement all the new complex security measures and get new technology [you notice the new finger print screen, no black ink on your fingers and this is transmitted by computer to anywhere in the world, digital pictures, biometrics etc].
Therefore, in a rather cavalier manner, the USCIS has turned to the foreigners to get the money. It is an accurate calculation; there are millions of foreigners scrambling to get into the US. And some of them will pay anything to get in - human smugglers from China and Mexico etc regularly charge thousands of dollars to smuggle in one person; and the person pays back the money by doing slave labour on minimum wage jobs in the US; the women are forced into prostituiton to raise the money.
The USCIS has tapped into this desperation, in order to raise money for its operational costs. Such is life.
My prayer is that the State Dept. will not raise visa fees - one person can hustle for the money; a family of 4 [like wld] may find that to be prohibitive.
We will await intelligence report from Adebayo's contact in the Embassy; in the meantime-let us pray.

Baba Aladura, how come you got this info before me:D
I can authentically confirm to the house that the new fees has nothing to do with us as said by my people in the embassy, the new fee is charged by USCIS only in the state, it has nothing to do with DV winners offshore, the only place it will affect DV winners is when the winner is going for AOS (adjustment of status) in the US. As for us outside of US of A no quams! the fees remains same, all is well, you need to see how happy i was when they told me yesterday:D :D , they even said if anything like that will be in place, it would have been announced like a month before now. Let's be focused so that nothing derails us and ignore the false alarm please. God bless us.
