USCIS fees going up!(Yes, including DACA-$495)

Quote:

The Department of Homeland released a final rule Friday that will significantly increase the fees it charges to process immigration and naturalization benefit requests.

The final rule from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which will be published Monday and take effect in December, increases dozens of application fees by a weighted average 21 percent, in a bid to cover the costs associated with processing these fees.

A review by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services found that the current fees "do not recover the full cost of services provided.

Most fees will see increases of a few hundred dollars or less. Petitions to allow the entry of an alien fiance or relative will rise from $340 and $420, respectively, to $535 each.

Applications to register in the U.S. as a permanent resident will rise from $985 to $1,140.

But others rise more sharply. It currently costs $585 to apply for permission to reapply for U.S. admission after a deportation or removal, and that cost will rise to $930.

The cost of an immigration petition from an "alien entrepreneur" will rise from $1,500 to $3,675.

The rule exempts from fees any application from people who are "victims of a severe form of human trafficking," if they help law enforcement crack down on that trafficking.

Processing costs related to adoption will also rise, from $720 to $775, which led to some complaints at DHS that the move will discourage adoption.

Raising prices in association with the cost of "processing" these applications? Do we have a new meaning for the word processing? I think USCIS' definition is sitting on applications ad infinitum

I don't care if DACA fees are $10,000. I just want to see eDACA pass.

Well got 60 days from today (10/24/2016). So up until 12/23/16 the fees won't go up.

I just filed my renewal last week, knowing USCIS those quacks will sit on it as long as they'll can.

I'm not even sure if I should've bothered with my renewal with the chance of trump winning and DACA getting cancled. I'm not paying my tuition for spring semster until after nov 8th.

Yep, my plans are also on hold until after Nov 8...because my future is drastically different between a Trump presidency and a Clinton presidency.

I'll be honest. I am afraid of what might happen. I know several of you are also afraid of what might happen and how we cannot do anything to prevent it. It's the inability that I can't do anything that's wearing me down.

When I see people talking about election stress and they're documented and all, I laugh, cause the election stress we're carrying is monumentally more. I can't wait for nov 8th to get here, and I also dead nov 8th getting here.

Apparently they blamed the delays on a lack of a processing fee. Let's see how true that is next renewal.

No more next renewal, either we move forward with Hillary or we move back into the dark ages with TRUMP. This is do or fail.
