오는 2월 26일부터 이민국 급행서비스 (Premium Processing Service) 접수비가 인상된다.
급행서비스 접수비는 케이스별로 기존 접수비가 $1500인 신청은 $1685로, $2500은 $2805로, $1750은 $1965로 각각 인상된다.
이민국은 인플레이션에 맞춰 이같이 급행서비스 접수비를 인상한다고 발표하고, 이를 통해 급행수속 서비스 제공은 물론 케이스 프로세싱의 개선과 적체 케이스 해소 등을 위한 기금조성에 쓰일 것이라고 밝혔다.
2월26일 이후 날짜로 우편 스탬프 (USPS) 된 신청서 (FedEx, UPS 등 커리어 서비스는 Receipt Scan)는 인상된 접수비를 지불해야 하며, 기존 접수비 금액을 보낼 경우 케이스 파일이 반송 (Reject) 되므로 주의가 요망된다.
인상된 급행서비스 접수비는 다음과 같다.

USCIS Announces Inflation Adjustment to Premium Processing Fees
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a final rule that will increase the filing fee for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing, to adjust for inflation.
The USCIS Stabilization Act established the current premium processing fees and the authority for the Department of Homeland Security to adjust the premium fees on a biennial basis. After leaving these fees unchanged for the three years following passage of the Act, DHS is now increasing the premium processing fees USCIS charges for all eligible forms and categories to reflect the amount of inflation from June 2021 through June 2023 according to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The adjustment increases certain premium processing fees from $1,500 to $1,685, $1,750 to $1,965, and $2,500 to $2,805.
DHS will use the revenue generated by the premium processing fee increase to provide premium processing services; make improvements to adjudications processes; respond to adjudication demands, including reducing benefit request processing backlogs; and otherwise fund USCIS adjudication and naturalization services.
The fee change will go into effect on Feb. 26, 2024. If USCIS receives a Form I-907 postmarked on or after Feb. 26, 2024 with the incorrect filing fee, we will reject the Form I-907 and return the filing fee. For filings sent by commercial courier (such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt.
The full table of adjusted fees is:
