On September 29, a Federal Judge issued a temporary injunction blocking the government from raising USCIS filing fees for immigration benefits on October 2, 2020.
We will continue to update you on the progress of this lawsuit.
The chart below details the new USCIS filing fees which were scheduled to take effect on October 2, 2020. Some of the USCIS filing fees will increase over 100%.
If you will be affected by the increased USCIS filing fees, we suggest that you apply for immigration benefits as soon as possible.
