Naturalization Application Fee Adjustments
This is a proposal open for comment, not a rule in force. It may never be finalised, and it creates no obligation today.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to adjust the fees that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) charges for Form N-400, and Form N-336, to end both the reduced fee option for Form N-400, and the availability of fee waivers for both forms. Current and former armed forces service members would remain exempt from paying the fees when filing for naturalization under statutes for members of the armed forces. The proposed rule is intended to align these fees with the relative costs to adjudicate these forms.

Who is affected
What the document says may be required
The document states a requirement for those it covers. The exact obligation, and whether it applies to a particular person, depends on the document's own terms — the relevant passage is quoted below.
“This could result in additional lawful permanent resident (LPR) requests in the future for renewal of their Permanent Resident Cards (``Green'' Card) which would be an added burden to applicants and USCIS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ Form I-912, or a fee waiver request, must be submitted together with Form N-400 or with Form N-336.”
This list may be incomplete — the document may identify others. Read the original. Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.
- This is a PROPOSED rule. It is not in force, may change before finalisation, and may never be finalised.
