A proposed rule that would adjust the fees U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services charges for immigration and naturalization benefit requests has cleared White House Office of Management and Budget review.
Key Points:
Background: In 2020, DHS published a rule to adjust USCIS fees, but a court enjoined the agency from implementing it. DHS says the new rule will “rescind and replace” the 2020 rule and “establish new USCIS fees to recover USCIS operating costs.”
BAL Analysis: The proposal to increase USCIS fees is moving through the regulatory process, but the higher fees will not take effect for several months. BAL will continue following the proposal and will provide updates as information becomes available.
