Mbgirlfriend said:It makes sense that it would save time. By paying upfront you basically eliminate one step. If they need to request the fee they are going to send you the request then you add the time it takes for you to send the payment, then the time it will take for them to actually acknowledge that they have received it and then move your application to the next step. Just because you send your payment in doesn't mean they are going to update your file right away to reflect that you have paid.
If you pay upfront they can just check that step of their list and move your application along.
thanks
