This is the link to the US Department of State announcing the fee increase. (I didn't see anything for the IV)

Application Fees for Non-Immigrant Visas to Increase On January 1, 2008

But.......
Quote:
This increase applies both to non-immigrant visas issued on machine-readable foils in passports and to border crossing cards issued to certain applicants in Mexico.

So does this fee apply everywhere?

Thank you for that link Steve.

From what Mr Folinskyinla states, there is a fee increase with the IV as well. Being a member of AILA they get all notifications, generally prior to the general public.
