USCIS has finally confirmed it’s new fee schedule. It takes effect in less than two months, on October 2, 2020. And that is not a lot of time to prepare a solid application.
If you are considering applying for US citizenship, you should submit asap (before October 2) and avoid a 61% price increase ($445).
If applying for for Adjustment of Status for a Child you can avoid a 51% increase ($380).
If applying for Work or Travel Authorization (at same time as Adjustment of Status) you can still get these Free of Charge ($0 !!). Currently Work Authorization and Travel Authorization applications when submitted at same time as Adjustment of Status need no filing fee, they are included “Free of Charge” as part of the adjustment of status process.
