DHS seeks to increase the filing fee costs for many immigration benefits. Among the proposed fee increases is a naturalization application 83% increase, lawful permanent resident application 79% increase, and DACA renewal application 59% increase. Additionally, if this rule comes into effect, it would establish a new $50 fee for all asylum cases, making the United States one of four countries to charge people for asylum.

USCIS has reopened the fee schedule public comment period until February 10th. Help us fight back against this attack on fairness, equity, justice and affordability by urging your followers to submit a public comment before the deadline! Sample tweets and Facebook posts can be found below with accompanying graphics.

  • DHS wants to make it even more difficult for immigrants to remain in the United States and naturalize, apply for asylum, or receive DACA benefits.

    The latest move by the agency would make immigration unaffordable and eliminate the waivers that enable middle- and low-income immigrants to become citizens.

    Additionally, the agency is calling to transfer tens of millions of dollars to further line the pockets of ICE—more funding for the arrest, detention, and deportation of immigrants in our communities. We’re standing strong against these changes—and you can join us by submitting a public comment in support of a more inclusive, just, and diverse nation.
