Summary

Informational only, not legal advice. Confirm deadlines on the official notice or with a qualified professional.

USCIS updated its Policy Manual on April 1, 2024, to reflect a new fee rule that took effect earlier that year. The revisions align USCIS guidance with the Federal Register final rule published on January 31, 2024. This ensures consistency between USCIS's internal policies and the official fee schedule. Immigration applicants should review updated fee requirements when submitting benefit requests.
