20 Nov 2010
USCIS has reminded the public that new fees will take effect on November 23, 2010. Applications or petitions that are postmarked on or after this date that do not include the new fee will be rejected by the federal agency.
In addition to updated fees, USCIS has published several revised forms reflecting these fee changes, all of which will be published November 23 as well. These forms include Form I-129, the Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker; Form I-129S, Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition; Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States after Deportation or Removal; and many others. Instructions on the forms will provide greater detail regarding who should file the form, where the form should be filed and what the specific fee increase is.
