USCIS Fee Increase

Proposed New USCIS Fee Structure

On January 4, the 2023 the USCIS proposed increases for almost all immigration benefit requests. If and when this goes into effect, employers will pay significantly more for their immigrant filings. With projected revenue boost of more than $4.5 billion, the fee increase will provide much needed funds the USCIS says are necessary. Being funded mainly by these filing fees the agency is more dependent on them than other government fees collected.

With the proposed fee structure inside the proposed rule, we have a breakdown of most common employment-based petitions and applications below.
