TAKE THREE STEPS TO FIGHT THE FEE HIKE!
Proposed Increase in Naturalization Fees Would Put U.S. Citizenship Beyond the Reach of Nation's Newcomers
Latino Elected Officials and Community Leaders Can “Take Three Steps” to Fight the Fee Increase
On January 31, 2007, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a proposal that would increase the fees for starting the naturalization process from $400 to $675, and the agency anticipates that it will implement the hike as early as June 2007. This increase would put U.S. citizenship beyond the reach of many of our nation’s 8 million legal permanent residents who are eligible for U.S. citizenship. About half of these newcomers are Latino.
The NALEO Educational Fund invites you to join in our advocacy campaign against the increase by taking three steps to fight the fee hike. As a Latino elected official or community representative, your leadership on this issue is important.
