From time to time the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency ("USCIS") increases filing fees for its services and issues many new or revised forms. See USCIS Fee Schedule.

Unlike many other federal agencies, USCIS is almost entirely fee funded. About 96% of agency funding is from filing fees, and only about 4% is from congressional appropriations.
