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".

It is the government not a merchant. They will not risk even just one cent for a loss.
Bitcoin volatility will not work with them since they want the exact fees all the time. They wont give up a loss and users will have problems with that.
Sudden waves could change anything.
If they are acceptig bitcoin they should price it with the same, not converting all of a sudden when bitcoin price changes in USD.
