USCIS issues proposed rules to adjust certain fees
January 4, 2023
A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to adjust certain immigration and naturalization benefit request fees was published by USCIS. The new fees will be used by USCIS to fully recover its operating costs, reestablish and maintain timely case processing, and prevent the accumulation of future case backlogs. A majority of the funding USCIS receives is from filing fees, not congressional appropriations. The proposed fee rule is the result of a comprehensive fee review at USCIS. The review determined that the agency’s current fees fall short of recovering the full cost of agency operations.
