USCIS FINAL RULE REGARDING REMOVAL OF TEMPORARY FEE SCHEDULE FOR CERTAIN EB CASES

The following is not legal advice. Please consult a qualified immigration lawyer for advice on your unique situation.

The USCIS issued its Final Rule that terminates the requirement that EB Cases filed per the July Visa Bulletin include the fees that were in effect prior to July 30, 2007. Today is the last day that the USCIS is accepting EB cases per the July Visa Bulletin.

The new standard filing fee now in effect for I-485 cases is $1010 (this fee includes fingerprints, Employment Authorization Application and Advance Parole Application – available if the applicant is eligible and chooses to apply).

Filing a petition or an application with the incorrect fee could lead to rejection of the case.
