    We are revising our guidance (PDF, 364.37 KB) in the USCIS Policy Manual to align with the Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements Final Rule published in the Federal Register on Jan. 31, 2024, and effective on April 1, 2024.

    Revisions to the policy manual apply to all applications and petitions postmarked on or after April 1.

    We will use the postmark date of a filing to determine which form version and fees are correct, but we will use the receipt date for purposes of any regulatory or statutory filing deadlines.

    The revised guidance covers new form fees, fee waivers and fee exemptions, limits on the number of beneficiaries for certain employment-based forms, and a new form supplement for orphan intercountry adoption cases.

    Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page, which we recently updated, for more details about the fee rule and fee schedule.

    If you need more information or have any questions call 407-226-3659 to schedule a free consultation at our Orlando or Tampa office.
