Why this log exists

USCIS does not publish a running history of fee-schedule changes in a form you can subscribe to. A schedule change takes effect on a stated date, and a package received afterwards carrying the old fee is rejected outright — the money comes back, the wait does not.

A watcher checks the live G-1055 against the edition this site is verified against and opens a review the moment they diverge. Fees are then re-verified by hand before anything on this site changes: the PDF extracts with scrambled columns, and an automated parse reproduced only 2 of 12 known fees in testing, so auto-filling would put wrong numbers on a tool whose entire value is being right.

This log starts when it was created. Editions that predate it are deliberately absent rather than reconstructed from memory.

Filing near a fee change?

Fee changes are one of the most common rejection reasons precisely because they are invisible until the package comes back. FormGuard checks the fee you are about to pay against the current schedule, along with the rest of the form.
