Why is USCIS increasing its fees?

Why is USCIS increasing its fees?

USCIS operates on a fee-funded model, relying on application fees rather than taxes or congressional funding. The fee structure hasn’t seen an adjustment since 2016, and the challenges have only grown, particularly with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. USCIS does not see the fee increase as just about numbers; they see it as a crucial step to address the agency’s financial challenges, backlogs, and customer service issues. With this increase, USCIS has committed to utilizing the additional revenue to enhance application processing times and address backlogs.
