USCIS has issued a proposed rule that would significantly increase filing fees for naturalization-related applications. Under the proposal, the Form N-400 filing fee would increase to $1,330 for paper filing and $1,280 for online filing, while the Form N-336 filing fee would increase to $1,475 for paper filing and $1,425 for online filing.

The proposal would also eliminate most fee waivers and reduced-fee options for these filings. Because this is only a proposed rule, the changes are not yet final, and public comments are due by August 24, 2026.

Applicants who may be eligible for naturalization should carefully review their timing and filing options before any final fee changes take effect.
