Did you know that the Trump administration is proposing to make it harder to become a U.S. citizen through raising the application cost and getting rid of the fee waiver option?
On June 23, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security posted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to raise the fee to naturalize significantly by 75% for paper filing and 78% for online filing to a total of $1,330 and $1,280 respectively.
The proposal also includes a total elimination of any fee waiver or reduced fee options for naturalization, which adversely affects low-income communities.

您知道川普政府正提議修例,增加入籍的門檻嗎? 您知道川普政府提議大幅度調高美國公民申請的費用嗎?
2026年6月23日,美國國土安全部發布了一份提議,建議將入籍申請費用大幅度增加至1,280美元,增幅高達75%。
該提議還包括全面取消入籍申請的費用減免或部分減免的機制,這將對低收入群體造成不利影響,令到大批華裔移民更難入籍成為美國公民!華促會呼籲大家在公眾諮詢期間,向聯邦政府提出反對意見!
