The Secretary must charge a fee to an alien, parent, or legal guardian applying for special immigrant juvenile status. The fee starts at $250 or a rule-set amount, adjusts for inflation, and goes to the Treasury’s general fund.
(a) In addition to other legally authorized fees, the Secretary of Homeland Security must require an alien, parent, or legal guardian of an alien applying for special immigrant juvenile status under section 1101(a)(27)(J) to pay the amount specified here. (b) In fiscal year 2025, the amount is the greater of $250 or an amount the Secretary sets by rule. (c) In fiscal year 2026 and each later fiscal year, it is the prior fiscal year’s fee plus that fee multiplied by any July CPI percentage increase over the same July of the prior calendar year, rounded down to the next multiple of $10. (d) All fees go into the Treasury’s general fund.
In addition to any other fee authorized by law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the payment of a fee, equal to the amount specified in this section, by any alien, parent, or legal guardian of an alien applying for special immigrant juvenile status under section 1101(a)(27)(J) of this title.
For fiscal year 2025, the amount specified in this section shall be the greater of—
$250; or
such amount as the Secretary of Homeland Security may establish, by rule.
During fiscal year 2026, and during each subsequent fiscal year, the amount specified in this section shall be equal to the sum of—
the amount of the fee required under this subsection for the most recently concluded fiscal year; and
the product resulting from the multiplication of the amount referred to in paragraph (1) by the percentage (if any) by which the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the month of July preceding the date on which such adjustment takes effect exceeds the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the same month of the preceding calendar year, rounded to the next lowest multiple of $10.
All of the fees collected pursuant to this section shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury.
