USCIS Announces Inflation Adjustment to Premium Processing Fees

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will increase Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing filing fees.

After leaving these fees unchanged for three (3) years, the charges for certain premium processing cases will increase from $1500 to $1685, $1750 to $1965, and $2500 to $2805, depending on the USCIS form that is being filed.

USCIS will use the additional revenue generated by fee increase to provide premium processing services, make improvements to the adjudication process, respond to adjudication demands (including reducing backlogs), and otherwise fund USCIS adjudication and naturalization services.

The fee increase will go into effect on February 26, 2024. If USCIS receives a Form I-907 postmarked on or after February 26, 2024 with the incorrect filing fee, the forms will be rejected and the fee will be returned.

The U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program: History, Temporary Status, and Expiration Timeline

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) reauthorized and reformed the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, a U.S. immigration program that offers foreign nationals a pathway to U.S. permanent residency through investment in American businesses that create jobs. A significant component of this program is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program, which allows investors to consolidate their resources through designated Regional Centers and invest in projects that drive economic growth and job creation. The Regional Center Program was introduced by Congress in 1992 as a pilot program to enhance the EB-5 visa classification. It was classified as a pilot program – a short-term “test” program – to allow for more flexibility for job creation based on the minimum investment. Investments may be made into businesses or “projects” sponsored by Regional Centers, which are approved by the United States Citizenship Immigration Services. Typically, these Regional Centers manage or oversee

Vietnamese Names Listed in a Different Order on U.S. Visas and Green Cards

United States government posts have frequently listed Vietnamese citizens’ names on government documents in a different order such as on visas and Form I-551 (“Green Cards”.) This often happens because Vietnamese passports list names in the order of last name (or “family name” or “surname”) followed by the middle name and then the first name. This traditional naming style can cause significant confusion regarding the proper Vietnamese visa name order. Moreover, some Vietnamese individuals have more than one middle or first name, resulting in four names represented on a passport, which further complicates the data entry for U.S. officials. Regional Accuracy: Why Where You Apply Matters For U.S. government posts in Vietnam, such as the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, this is usually not a problem. Immigrant and nonimmigrant visas issued by these offices are normally correct because the consular officers have

Visa Retrogression Explained: Differences Between Retrogression and Backlogs

Visa retrogression is a situation where the Department of State (“DOS”) adjusts the Final Action Date and Dates For Filing backwards on the DOS monthly Visa Bulletin. This occurs when the demand for immigrant visas in a specific visa category exceeds the estimated supply, causing applicants who were previously eligible to wait a longer period of time. Understanding the distinction between a visa backlog and visa retrogression is critical for immigrant visa applicants navigating the Family-Based (“FB”) or Employment-Based (“EB”) preference categories. How the Visa Bulletin and Priority Dates Work To understand visa retrogression, you must understand the “Priority Date.” Many visa categories have a limited number of visas available every year. When there is greater demand for a visa category than there are visas available, the U.S. government places visa applicants on a waiting list; the Visa Bulletin based on the applicants Priority Date. This is effectively your place
