A Form I-94 application carries a $24 fee
What the document says“the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the payment of a fee, equal to the amount specified in subsection (b), by any alien who submits an application for a Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record.”
The section requires the Secretary, on top of any other fee, to charge a fee to any alien who applies for a Form I-94 Arrival and Departure Record. For fiscal year 2025 the amount is the greater of $24 or what the Secretary sets by rule, and it rises each year with the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, rounded down to the nearest dollar. The fee may not be waived or reduced.
What the document actually says“the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the payment of a fee, equal to the amount specified in subsection (b), by any alien who submits an application for a Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record.”
A fee must be paid for this form. It is an arrival and departure record.
The amount starts at $24. It climbs with prices each year. The fee may not be waived.
