This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from waiving or reducing fees that applicants must pay when applying for U.S. citizenship. The measure would affect millions of immigrants seeking to become naturalized citizens by eliminating fee waivers and reductions that are currently available to applicants who cannot afford the full cost. The only exception to this ban would be for active duty and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, who would still be eligible for fee waivers under existing law. The bill contains no funding provisions or implementation timelines, as it is primarily a restriction on executive branch discretion rather than a spending measure.
