CIS raises fees for applications and petitions

Immigrants' Rights Update, Vol. 19, Issue 8, December 22, 2005


     U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) has published a notice in the Federal Register that raised the fees for immigration benefit applications and petitions.  According to the notice’s summary, application fees have been raised by approximately $10 per application or petition “to account for cost increases due to inflation.”   

     The fee increases apply to applications or petitions filed on or after Oct. 26, 2005.  Any application or petition mailed, postmarked, or otherwise filed on or after that date must be accompanied by the new, higher fee.

     The table below shows the new fees for the applications and petitions that probably are of the most interest to Immigrants’ Rights Update readers.

70 FR 56182-84 (Sept. 26, 2005).
