Homeland Security's US Citizenship and Immigration is now considering accepting bitcoin payment for US Visa application/payment fees

the documents from USCIS.gov website reads:
"USCIS is currently considering issues involving virtual currency such as Bitcoin." related to "the use of bitcoin to transfer investment funds to the new commercial enterprise".

This could be huge for Bitcoin if they actually start doing it. I just have 1 question though. Is it viable for the US Government? It seems that with the volatility of Bitcoin it won't actually be a viable option to use as a form of payment. Correct me if I am wrong here guys.
