The Immigration and Nationality Act (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, INA section 286(m), 8 U.S.C. § 1356(m). The INA provides that the fees may recover administrative costs as well. The INA also authorizes U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to provide some services for free at its discretion and allows USCIS to restrict fee waiver availability on benefits while providing for fee waiver consideration on some benefits. USCIS regulations at 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1)(i)(AAA)(1) provide that the fee for an Application for Naturalization (Form N–400) for applicants whose documented income is between 150% and 200% of the Federal poverty level is $320. This information collection is necessary to document the applicant’s income and eligibility to pay the reduced fee.
