An advance copy was made available of a USCIS notification of two preliminary injunctions issued in 2020 against the final rule significantly altering the USCIS fee schedule, which was published on August 3, 2020, with an effective date of October 2, 2020. The notification states that DHS is complying with the terms of these court orders and is not enforcing the regulatory changes set out in the final rule. USCIS will continue to accept the fees that were in place prior to October 2, 2020, and follow the guidance in place prior to October 2, 2020, to adjudicate fee waiver requests.

The USCIS premium processing service allows petitioners to pay an additional filing fee to expedite the adjudication of certain forms, generally within 15 days. Any Form I-907 (Request for Premium Processing) postmarked on or after Oct. 19 must include the new fee amount. If USCIS receives a Form I-907 postmarked on or after Oct. 19 with the incorrect filing fee, we will reject the Form I-907 and return the filing fee.

USCIS is almost entirely fee-funded, and a decrease in applications in recent months and years has caused the agency to be in a serious budget deficit. On July 31, USCIS announced that it would increase fees for a range of immigration and naturalization applications. Fee increases include a $500 increase in applying for naturalization, adding a $50 fee for asylum seekers, and more. In order to encourage online filing, USCIS will decrease fees by $10 for anyone who files an application or petition online. The new rule and fees will go into effect on October 2, 2020.
