Last year, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) faced a financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Already in May of this year, a USCIS spokesman told the US government that a $ 1.2 billion bailout would be required by summer to cover operating costs. The agency found that fewer and fewer applicants were submitting applications and petitions to USCIS, resulting in a massive loss of revenue for the agency.
In order to keep itself alive, the agency agreed to increase the registration fee for certain types of applications and petitions.
Today the Department of Homeland Security is official announced a last rule this will be registered in the Federal Register on August 3approx This will increase registration fees for certain types of immigration services.
The final regulation will take effect 60 days from August 3approx – the date of publication that falls on October 2, 2020.
This means that applications stamped with incorrect fees on or after October 2, 2020 will be rejected by USCIS.
