EXCHANGE VISITOR FEE INCREASE ANNOUNCED
In June of 1996 the US Information Agency announced an interim rule imposing a fee for applications for waiver of the two-year home residency requirement imposed by INA section 212(e) to $ 136. As of March 11, 1999, this interim rule will become final without change. The Agency has determined that this amount is sufficient to recoup all costs related to review of such waiver applications. There will be no fee imposed for requests for advisory opinions, as they do not impose a specific benefit on the requesting person, as does the waiver itself.
