The U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS, hereinafter referred to as "USCIS") has finally announced a price increase that has been brewing for a year! Judging by what is published, it covers almost all businessesWork permits, green cards, naturalizations, and even tourist visa extensions have all increased in price。In addition, the cost of applying for a green card and naturalization has increased significantly.
Please refer to the table below for the specific price increase categories and amounts:
After the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service officially issued a notice of price increases, I saw all kinds of voices and hype on the Internet, which made everyone very anxious. For families who are handling or planning to apply for U.S. immigration, there is no need to care too much, I will give you an objective analysis from two aspects.
On the one hand, the U.S. immigration application materials are complex and cannot be rushed
At present, the three main pathways for U.S. immigration are: EB-5 investment immigration, EB1-A alien of extraordinary ability, and EB2-NIW National Interest Waiver. No matter what kind of U.S. immigration is, the preparation of application materials is very professional and rigorous, and the preparation period generally takes about 3-5 months. After the materials are prepared, they need to be submitted to the U.S. law firm for review before they can be submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.
There is a self-** on the Internet that everyone should start it quickly and submit the case before the price increase. If it is an application in progress, the materials have been prepared, and the progress can be accelerated in the remaining time, and on the premise of ensuring the quality of the copywriting, see if you can submit the immigration application before the price increase.
If it is a U.S. immigration application that has not yet been officially launched, then don't rush to raise the price or not, and prepare the application materials in a down-to-earth manner. Compared to the security of the application, the application fee has increased by a few thousand dollars.
On the other hand, the application fee is calculated on a per household basis, not per capitation
Taking the EB5 investment immigration application in the United States as an example, the application fee has increased by $7,485 from the current $3,675,** to $11,160.
It should be noted that this application fee needs to be paid by the main applicant, and other dependent applicants do not need to pay, in other words, the U.S. immigration application fee is calculated on a family basis, not on a per capita basis. I saw that there was a self-** on the Internet that said that the immigration application fee of a family was hundreds of thousands of yuan, this kind of wrong information, everyone should be able to screen it by themselves.
If you have any questions about U.S. immigration, please leave a message or private message to communicate.
