Notice: USCIS Immigration Fees Required by HR-1 Reconciliation Bill

  1. Original Date Announced

    July 18, 2025

    After the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("HR-1"), USCIS announced, in a notice, a series of new immigration fees to be collected for various adjudicatory activities and applications made by immigrants. These fees include applications for an Asylum Employment Authorization Document ("EAD"), a parolee EAD, a Temporary Protected Status EAD, a new Temporary Protected Status fee, a Special Immigrant Juvenile statute ("SIJs") Fee, an Annual Asylum Fee ("AAF"), and provides for fee adjustments pursuant to inflation.

    No fee waivers are available for any of the new HR-1 fees, including the new SIJs fee (even though the statute did not explicitly say that no fee waiver is available for that fee).

    USCIS announced that it will "begin collecting the filing fees for fiscal year 2025 for any immigration benefit requests postmarked on or after July 22, 2025," and that "requests postmarked on or after August 21, 2025, without the proper filing fee will be rejected."
