On August 3, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services announced significant changes to its filing fees. These changes will go into effect on October 2, 2020. Applications received by USCIS before October 2 can take advantage of the prior fee schedule.
The filing fees for citizenship and permanent residence are both scheduled to increase significantly. USCIS currently charges $725 to apply for citizenship. On October 2, this will increase to $1200 (with a $10 discount if you opt to apply on-line).
The new fee schedule also eliminates fee bundling for I-485 applications for adjustment of status that had been in place since 2007. Filing fees for employment authorization and advance parole travel permission have been bundled with the filing fee for adjustment of status, which is currently $1225 total. The new fee schedule eliminates this bundling and charges a separate fee for each application. Thus, starting October 2, it will cost $2300 to apply for adjustment of status with employment authorization and advance parole. This is an increase of $1075.
