Increases in Immigration Filing Fees

Takes Effect Immediately

This bill imposes new or increased immigration form filing fees. New fees: 

• Asylum applications - $100 per year (even while application is pending)
• TPS registration - increased from $50 to $500
• Special Immigrant Juvenile petition - $250

It also imposes a mandatory $550 fee for filing initial work permit applications for Temporary Protected Status recipients, asylum applicants, and others, placing a financial hardship on people who are not allowed to work.
