The Murthy Law Firm reports that, contrary to USCIS’s outlined circumstances for the fee’s application, the fee is being assessed more broadly in practice, particularly in cases involving consular processing.
Key Details:
- Effective date of the fee: September 19, 2025
- Fee amount: $100,000
- USCIS guidance specifies limited circumstances for fee applicability
