US Immigration fees to double

US IMMIGRATION FEES TO DOUBLE AND TRIPLE FROM JULY 30, 2007

Beginning July 30, immigrants applying for green cards will pay more than three times as much as they do now, under a plan unveiled by the Bush administration. Applications for citizenship and temporary work permits will cost almost twice as much as they do now. The prices include slight changes from the fee plan announced Jan. 31 by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Emilio Gonzalez.

The application fee for citizenship will rise from $330 to $675
