The Rising Cost of U.S. Citizenship
Citizenship costs range from a $250 Visa Integrity Fee up to thousands in green card and naturalization expenses. The standard N-400 naturalization fee, currently $710 online or $760 physical copy, could jump to $1,330 under a DHS proposal. Green card costs add more on top, roughly $3,005 for marriage-based petitions and $2,965 for employment-based premium processing, before legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs.
