As reported by the Associated Press, the federal government has once again entered discussion about raising the fees for applications on “immigration-related services to help offset a shortage in revenue.”
Their solution according to Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is that the Los Angeles agency might cut costs, raise fees or reorient “revenue in the next two years to alleviate the problem.”
The decrease in revenue is mainly due to the economic crisis, which has caused an increasing drop in application filing related to immigration. This fiscal year, the Citizenship and Immigration services will not meet its revenue predictions, collecting $282 million instead of $2.33 billion.
Alejandro Mayorkas did not state to what amount the fees will be raised “or which services will be affected.”
