The Department of Homeland Security has just released the final rule that significantly changes the USCIS fee schedule, including adding new fees, establishing multiple fees for nonimmigrant worker petitions and increasing the premium processing time limit. The rule and the new fees will become effective on October 2, 2020.

The highlights of the final rule are: significant filing fee increase for I-485 applicants and especially the additional fee for EAD/AP applications; premium processing will take 15 calendar (and not business) days; naturalization fee almost doubles; dependent H-1B employers will have to pay PL 114-113 fee for extensions as well.
