Now, theadministration is proposing across-the board increasesin fees that will affect not only the Marianas but applicants nationwide. Representatives Grace Meng (NY-06), Norma Torres (CA-35), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Chuy Garcia (IL-04), and I have objected to this proposal, calling on the administration to work with Congress to provide more funding for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, if needed. The proposed rule increases the fee for a naturalization application from $640 to $1,170. Fees for lawful permanent residence, a green card, would rise from $1,220 to $2,195. Additionally, fee waivers would be eliminated for naturalization, lawful permanent residence, and employment authorization. The public can also submit comments on this proposal athttps://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/11/14/2a019-24366/us-citizenship-and-immigration-services-fee-schedule-and-changes-to-certain-other-immigration.The deadline for comments is December 16, 2019. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
