A proposed rule to increase U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fees has been sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Key Points:
Additional Information: In 2020, DHS published a regulation to increase filing fees, but a court blocked the fees from taking effect. The proposal under OMB review would rescind and replace the 2020 rule. USCIS funding challenges and related staffing issues have contributed to delays across visa categories, and USCIS officials have said they are prioritizing backlog reduction.
