The USCIS fee changes that were supposed to take effect October 2 have been put on hold. If you have an application that you were planning to submit to USCIS on October 2nd or after, continue to use the same current fee schedule when submitting fee payment. This includes the following common applications submitted by F-1/F-2 students and J-1/J-2 exchange visitors:
- I-539 Application to Exchange, Change or Reinstate Status – Will remain $370 with $85 biometric fee, until further notice
- I-765 Application for Employment Authorization (e.g. for OPT, STEM OPT Extension or a J-2 EAD applicant) – Will remain $410 until further notice.
ISSS will provide updated information to you as we learn more about changes to the USCIS filing fees.
