As the US Citizenship and Immigration Services\u2019 revised fee policy came into effect on December 23, 2016, all new applications and petitions for immigrant visa, naturalization, employment authorization, permanent residency, US citizenship and non-immigrant temporary H1B visa<\/a><\/span> will cost dearly.<\/strong> All new applications and petitions must comply with the revised fee structure starting from December 23. Otherwise, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USICS) reserves the right to reject all filings at its sole discretion.<\/p>\n USCIS clearly states that they will not accept the previous fees for the filings postmarked on or after December 23, 2016. The previous fees apply only to the applications and petitions filed on any other date before December 23. It also states that a 14-day grace period will not be granted to applicants to repay fees in case of wrong fee payment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n USCIS has also made it clear that benefit requests for nonpayment will not be accepted.<\/strong> If biometric services fees are not paid or incorrect, benefit requests will no longer be entertained. If applicable, payment of biometric services fees is compulsory at the time of filing petitions or making applications.<\/p>\n\n
