The fee for several immigration benefits will increase starting in January. That’s according to a new notice issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
These new fees come from a provision of President Donald Trump's spending bill, the massive spending package passed by Congress earlier this year.
This latest notice will make small increases to eight applications — including work permits for asylum seekers, and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. The fee to apply for TPS status will also go up from $500 to $510, among other changes.
A policy shift from earlier this year made it so that asylum seekers had to pay to apply for that protection for the first time. That increase is currently held back by court order.
