Sheesh! A 35% increase for a passport (http://www.travel.state.gov./news/news_5078.html), from $100 to $135 beginning July13. :eek::eek:

If you've been thinking of getting a passport, now might be the time to do it.

:D:D

Thanks for sharing. What makes no sense ~ some fees have actually gone down! ie family based immigrant visas along with some others - what brings this about???

Seems if you are a legal citizen here and want to travel or need services - you will have to pay a bunch. Hum - and immigrants applying for a visa NON employment based the fee has dropped. I am confused!

Just renewed my passport thank goodness.
