USCIS Reminds Applicants to Submit the Correct Fee when Filing Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization
On Jan. 31, 2024, USCIS published a final rule that adjusts certain immigration and naturalization benefit request fees. This final rule went into effect on April 1, 2024. Since then, USCIS has seen a significant increase of Forms I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, being filed without the correct fee.
Please confirm that you have included the correct fee before submitting your Form I-765.
