However, CJS Spending Bills includes some items which will affect EB immigrant community but not well publicized. Year-End CJS Spending Bill Includes INS "Premium Processing Fee" Congress last week included a provision authorizing the INS to collect a "premium processing fee" of $1,000 on business immigration petitions (I-129s and I-140s) in the final version of the funding bill for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, State (CJS). This provision authorizes the INS to collect this voluntary fee in exchange for expedited service, in which a Decision or a request for additional evidence is sent within a certain period of time. The INS has discussed this fee in the context of a 15 day turn-around time. However, statutory language includes no set time frame. (courtesy of AILA)

why can\'t they do this for aos??
 
No Title

They can\'t do this for AOS because it\'s in one way out of their control when it comes to Visa numbers as INS depends on Dept. of State for these numbers... However, when it comes to INS inefficiency, yes certainly they can cash in on it (although it is ridiculous becuase th primary purpose of us/companies paying fees per application is actually for their prompt INS Service)

my 2 cents
