USCIS Proposes Raising Fees
On February 3, 2004, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a proposed adjustment to the fee structure for immigration benefits. The revised fees would add an average of $55 to the current cost of immigration applications, and increase the biometrics fee by $20 for certain applications.
Federal guidelines require that USCIS collect fees, rather than using tax dollars, to recover the full costs associated with providing immigration services, and conduct a review every two years to ensure that adequate revenue is received. The proposed adjustment will recover costs associated with comprehensive security enhancements instituted after September 11, 2001, and enhance customer service by contributing to improved application processing times.
The proposed rule provides a 30-day public comment period. After receipt and analysis of comments, USCIS will publish a final rule in the Federal Register, announcing a modified fee structure. Those fees will go into effect shortly thereafter, consistent with established regulatory policies.
