Millions of immigrants need to renew their Green Cards. About 90 percent of the USCIS’ budget comes from fees paid by citizenship applicants and petitioners for immigration benefits. Every two years, the USCIS conducts fees reviews to determine the funding levels necessary to administer the nation’s immigration laws, process immigration benefit requests and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. The law requires the review process by the USCIS. The USCIS’s fee revenue for the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years was much lower than projected, and the outlook for the 2010 fiscal year remains low. Even though the USCIS received some appropriations from Congress and made budget cuts totaling $160 million, this did not bridge the remaining gap between costs and anticipated revenue. Therefore, the USCIS’ justification for fee increases is to ensure that the USCIS recovers the costs of its operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.
