The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reminded US residents that a new fee schedule will be effective from July (30JUL07).
Any petitions/applications received by the USCIS that are either filed or postmarked after that date are subject to the new fees, which are an increase of approximately 66 per cent on the old fees.
However, the new schedule also expands the amount of fee waivers and exemptions available, and includes benefits for families with children.
Applicants are advised to visit www.uscis.gov/21stCenturyService for more information.
