On May 4, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a proposal to increase its current fee schedule. The table below highlights the changes to some of the most common petitions/applications affected by this recent proposal.
Note that both the biometric services fee and premium processing fee (not listed) remain the same. Furthermore, USCIS proposes a fee of $750 for a child under 14 years of age when filing with a parent — a $115 increase from the current filing fee of $635. Other noteworthy increases include the I-129 fee (filed with all nonimmigrant visa petitions), which increases from $325 to $460.
