USCIS is seeking to raise immigration filing fees to close a projected $200 million budget deficit for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. This comes only three years after USCIS raised filing fees an average of 66%. The new proposal would raise fees an average of 10%. USCIS highlights in its proposal that it will not raise fees in a few areas such as naturalization applications, but in many core petition types such as I-129 work visa petitions, there will be increases. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) wants USCIS to tie any rate increases to improvements in adjudication times and in better quality of case adjudication.
