USCIS Fee Increase- Here Is What The Increased Fees List Will Look Like

Many of you may remember one of our previous blog posts on USCIS proposed fee increase last year- well, it is time to pay attention again. USCIS is likely to raise fees as soon as this month. Below is a list of the proposed fee chart. If you are sitting on an application that needs to be filed, now would be a good time to file it. Copied from the federal register.
