Permanent Residency and Citizenship Fees Set to Increase

The Clears White House Review casts its impact beyond temporary work visas, extending to those pursuing permanent residency or U.S. citizenship. Proposed adjustment anticipates a 19% increase in the naturalization application fee, rising from $640 to $760. The EB-5 Investor Visa Program could undergo a substantial revision, potentially doubling initial I-526 petition fees from the current $5,450 to $11,160. I-829 petition fees, crucial for eliminating residency conditions, may see an almost 150% increase from $3,825 to $9,535.
