USCIS Immigration Fees will Increase on October 2nd

UPDATE: The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has issued a nationwide preliminary injunction enjoining the fee increases described below. The injunction could be lifted at any time. Stay tuned for further updates.

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.
