Title: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements 
Abstract:

On January 31, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a final rule, 89 FR 6194, that adjusted the fees charged by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for immigration and naturalization benefit requests. The rule rescinds and replaces the changes made by an August 3, 2020, rule and establishes new USCIS fees to recover USCIS operating costs. This rule also provides additional fee exemptions for certain humanitarian categories and makes changes to certain other immigration benefit request requirements.
