Scroll for the Entire List of Immigration Fee Increases
In less than two months, an exorbitant fee increase for some of the most common immigration procedures in America will go into effect in an attempt to solve a budget crisis with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Here is a list of the immigration forms that will be affected as of October 2
▪ Form N-400, Application for U.S. citizenship through naturalization will increase from $640 to $1,160 if filed online, or $ 1,170 in paper filing. Remember, you also must apply for biometrics, which is an additional $85. So, the final total will be $1,245. Percentage change: 83% (81%).
Before immigrants become priced out of the immigration adjustment process using a new and improved wealth test (fee hikes), the HOLA America Series is launching an Ultimate Citizenship Boot Camp that will fast track green card holders toward citizenship.
In a 30-day boot camp, the Ultimate Citizenship Guide will host live video workshops including the following:
