Abstract: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA), as amended, provides for the collection of fees at a level that will ensure recovery of the full costs of providing adjudication and naturalization services, including services provided without charge to asylum applicants and certain other immigrant applicants. Fee payments can be made via direct electronic submission through USCIS's systems, or via paper form that will be converted to electronic processing, both through the Department of Treasury's pay.gov web site.
