New USCIS Filing Fees Are Now In Effect

On November 23, 2010, the pre-announced increase in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (“USCIS”) filing fees went into effect.  All applications and petitions filed must now include the new and correct filing fee, or the filings will be rejected.

We have written in the past about the need of this fee increase and our office handled a surge of applications before the fee increase date to accommodate filings under the old fee structure which, for some filings, was significantly lower.

Schedule of USCIS Filing Fees

As part of the new fee structure, USCIS has prepared a helpful (and neatly organized) schedule of the current USCIS filing fees – Form G-1055 (in PDF format).
