Rep. Lofgren Issues Statement on USCIS Fee Schedule
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announcement on fees.
"While a few positive changes have been made to the proposed fees, in some cases they are still quite high for less than excellent service. In addition to concern about some of these fees, Congress needs to examine carefully the uses to which they will be put."
The rule change on the fees was printed in today’s Federal Register with the new fee structure going into effect July 30, 2007.
