USCIS Exempts Biometrics Fee for All Form I-539 Applicants
USCIS announced on September 25, 2023 that it will waive the $85 biometrics fee for all I-539 change/extension of status applications received on or after October 1, 2023. Applications received before October 1st will still be subject to the fee (if applicable to the category sought) and may still be scheduled for a biometrics appointment. If you are about to submit Form I-539 to either change or to extend your non-immigrant status, consider waiting until October 1st to do so.
