Hoy, 3 de agosto de 2020, el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos, USCIS, publicó una Regla Final que altera sus tarifas con un aumento promedio de 20%. También agregaron nuevas tarifas, establecieron tarifas múltiples para peticiones de trabajadores no inmigrantes y limitaron el número de beneficiarios para ciertos formularios.
“El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional anunció una regla final (PDF) que ajusta las tarifas para ciertas solicitudes de beneficios de inmigración y naturalización para garantizar que los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos recuperen los costos de los servicios. A diferencia de la mayoría de las agencias gubernamentales, USCIS se financia con honorarios. Los honorarios recaudados y depositados en la cuenta de honorarios de exámenes de inmigración financian casi 97% del presupuesto de USCIS», el sitio web de USCIS publicó el 31 de julio de 2020.
Esta regla entrará en vigencia el 2 de octubre de 2020 y cualquier petición o solicitud con sello postal de este día o posterior a esta fecha debe ir acompañada de las nuevas tarifas. Algunos de los aspectos clave de la regla, publicados por la Asociación Americana de Abogados de Inmigración, AILA, son:
- Aumento de las tarifas en un promedio ponderado de 20%
- Agregaron una tarifa de $50 para solicitudes de asilo
- Eliminación de la propuesta de transferir dinero a ICE
- Conservación de alguna exención de tarifas
Además, algunos de los formularios de USCIS cambiarán. Los nuevos formularios se publicarán en línea 30 días antes de que la nueva regla entre en vigencia y estos incluyen:
- Formulario I-129, Petición para un trabajador no inmigrante;
- Formulario I-600 / I-600A, Suplemento 3, Solicitud de acción sobre el Formulario I-600 / I-600A aprobado;
- Formulario I-765, Solicitud de Autorización de Empleo; y
- Formulario I-912, Solicitud de exención de tarifas.
Habrá un período de gracia de 60 días en el que el USCIS aceptará tanto los formularios anteriores como los nuevos siempre que el pago corresponda a las nuevas tarifas. La siguiente tabla está tomada de AILA y muestra el cambio de tarifa tanto en moneda como en porcentaje en todas las solicitudes de beneficios de inmigración afectados después de que esta Regla Final entre en vigencia:
