Upon conducting a comprehensive fee review, the USCIS has proposed changes to certain immigration and naturalization benefit request fees. This comes after the USCIS determined that current fees do not recover the full costs of the service that it provides.
The weighted average of the proposed increase is 21%, along with an additional fee.
When conducting the comprehensive fee review, USCIS reviewed its recent cost history, operating environment, and current service levels to determine the appropriate method to assign costs to particular form types. Overall, USCIS kept costs as low as possible and minimized non-critical program changes that would have increased costs.
