STATE RIN: 1400-AC58 Publication ID: Fall 2009 
Title: ●Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates 
Abstract: This rule proposes adjustments in current fees for consular services, in light of the findings of an independent cost of service study that the U.S. Government is not fully covering its costs for providing these services under the current fee structure. There is a tiered application processing fee for immigrant visas depending on the category. The adult passport book application fee is increased from $55 to $70 to better allow full cost recovery. This rule also reflects changes made in other interim final rules, 1400-AC42 (which is in effect) and 1400-AC57 (for which comments will be solicited).
