The Trump administration on Friday proposed increasing the cost of applying for U.S. citizenship and a marriage-based green card, as well as for the first time charging a fee for asylum applications. Under the new proposal, which will be published on Thursday in the Federal Register, fees for citizenship would increase by more than 80%, from $640 to $1,170. For marriage-based green cards filed within the United States, application fees would increase by 56%, from $1,760 to $2...,750. The government is also seeking to remove fee waivers on these forms, among others. Some asylum seekers will also be required to pay $50 to apply for asylum, making the United States only 1 of 4 countries in the world to charge for an asylum application. The government will also increase fees for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, from $495 to $765 to apply to renew their protections.
