Q: What will be the impact of higher USCIS fees in 2020?

A: This fee increase means the Immigration process will be out of reach to millions of immigrants trying to obtain any immigration benefits in the US.⁠ Unfortunately, with the track record of USCIS, this increased fee is not a guarantee of efficient and speedy service. A fee hike in the middle of a pandemic is not the best move the administration could have made. It is rather insensitive to say the least.⁠
