Instructions to the Public re: Change in Immigration Benefit Filing Fees
Effective January 24, 2003
Congress passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, which includes section 457 that requires INS to reduce the immigrant benefit application and petition fee schedule by the amount of surcharges used for asylum and refugee services, fee exemptions and fee waivers.
All applications and petitions filed with INS on or after January 24, 2003 should comply with the new fees in the fee table below. If you have already sent a fee to INS that includes the surcharge INS will accept the application and make a refund as appropriate. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change.
The following table displays the new immigration benefit application fees, minus the surcharge (rounded to the nearest $1.00).
