Beginning on October 2, 2020, USCIS will implement across-the-board fee increases. If you qualify for an immigration benefit, now may be the time to apply.

Beginning on October 2, 2020, USCIS will implement across-the-board fee increases. If you qualify for an immigration benefit, now may be the time to apply.
Fees will increase for the benefits below, among others:
N-400 Naturalization: $640 to $1160
I-485 Adjustment for a child under 14 years old: $750 to $1130
I-601A Provisional Waiver: $630 to $960
I-192 Waiver: $930 to $1400
I-751 Petition: $595 to $760
I-765 EAD: $410 to $550
Additionally, all applicants for adjustment of status (an application for a "green card" in the US) will be required to pay separate fees for an I-765 EAD and I-131 travel document. This will result in an increase of more than $1100 in filing fees for adjustment applicants seeking these benefits.
If you believe you may be eligible for an immigration benefit, there is still time to apply before the fees increase. Contact us to get started today at theteam@huwelaw.com or 415-496-9040.
Apply for citizenship online and pay your fee by credit card
Did you know that a naturalization (citizenship) application can now be submitted online?
USCIS has made it possible for a citizenship application, including all supporting documents, to be submitted online. We like this relatively new option because it makes it possible for your citizenship application to be processed a bit more quickly, and monitored through the USCIS website.

Not only that, but the application fee can now be paid by credit card. This is true for citizenship applications, as well as many others, including applications for permanent residency (a “green card”) as well as permission to work and travel abroad. Learn more at:
