Spouse and Family-Based Immigrant Visas:

Filing fees are scheduled to increase a nominal 3.74 percent from US$535 to US$550. Meanwhile, USCIS will decrease its processing fees for adjustment of status/green card applications 1.74 percent from US$1,140 to US$1,120.

Naturalization Applications:

Filing fees for those seeking to become U.S. citizens through naturalization are expected to increase 82.81 percent from US$640 to US$1,170. However, USCIS has proposed to remove the US$85 biometric processing fees reducing the total naturalization increase to 61.38 percent.
