Join this upcoming webinar to hear how the NPNA Family Protection Network and its members are responding to the proposed threat of the Trump administration increasing application fees. The proposed fee schedule regulation targets low-income and working class immigrants by effectively pricing them out of citizenship, asylum, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), work permits, and other forms of immigration status and benefits. If implemented, this rule would:
- Increase citizenship application fees by 83 percent, increasing the N-400 fee from $640 to $1,170;
- Create a $50 fee for filing certain asylum applications and make asylum seekers pay $490 for a work permit;
- Increase the cost of DACA renewals from $495 to $765;
- Eliminate fee waivers for citizenship, lawful permanent residency, employment authorization, and other applications;
- Transfer $112 million in applications fees from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for enforcement purposes, including denaturalization.
